The highlight of May 10th was a tour around the Lafayette Gallerie in Montparnasse,
shopping with the girls…
Then we went grocery shopping…
After almost two weeks, we have noticed that the girls are much less anxious about approaching people to do the small tasks they need to do. Buying simple items, finding a bathroom, asking easy questions are all getting easier. They are beginning to realize that they can get along in other cultures, with folks who don’t speak much English. They are also beginning to figure out that although things are different – they aren’t necessarily bad. Although it was also nice to learn that Frosted Flakes are called Frosties and they are just the same!!!
Little Road... 
Seeing how other folks live is important. They aren’t so different, and in many cases, their way of doing things is better than how Americans do them. We need to be humble. We don’t have all the answers, and we are young compared with other countries and cultures.
