Its day 6, monday morning....actually 11.02 am; Venue - Best Western Hotel Paradou. Had a weekend packed with activities (none of leisure), all geared towards settling down in our apartment in the city centre of Avignon (centreville !) We thought it a simple task (atleast in our minds) to find our way into our new home....but alas it was not so.
2 hours and 15 mins later, after battling one way streets, unfamiliar signs, taking helpful directions from senior citizens (who barely said a word in Anglaise) and several others via blackberry and telephone, voila ! we got in. We realized one thing or it may be just a one time incident - that atleast for us, nothing came easy. Although we enquired, we were not given directions or pointers. As exasperating as it was, it seems to be making us stronger. We painfully realized that our brains (wired in English) needed a RAM upgrade to process all the information (in Francaise, of course) ...fast !
So here we are, into semaine numero deux.
Did I mention, that the closest English church is located in Montpellier, an hour and 15mins away? ....oh mother of pearl !
