Friends in Far Away Places

Bonjour à tous!
Let's talk about friends,

It has taken a while for us to meet anybody here in the French country who we consider calling our "friends" but I believe we have found them. We were constantly discussing, why it is so hard to meet people and find someone who shares some of your views at least enough to tolerate serious conversations and someone who you can joke around with? Then all at once we seem to have too many friends. We don't know how it happened but it did. I met a beautiful family at the restaurant where I work and we discussed a little on how they liked it in Grenoble. They were not from the area so they had an idea of how Eglantine and I were feeling. After a week or two they contacted us and invited us for lunch in their place on a Sunday afternoon and we sat and ate and talked and talked and just had a good time. Then again the next weekend at the castle but all day long! We absolutely love spending time with these people because they are sweet and open-minded as well as compassionate. We are truly lucky to have met these people!

Around the same time one of Eglantine's old friends/boss from Paris moved to Grenoble for work. She is also super sweet and totally fun to be around. Even better, her boyfriend is a stand up comedian! We spent the evening with them last night and had a blast! (So funny)

As I am writing this we are getting ready to head out again to see our new friendly family. They are planning a Taco Night with a movie! (We miss Mexican food sooooo much) We have a lot in common with them already...They are from New Mexico!!!  Right?! I am so excited to share our adventure with someone else who is and has been doing the same thing. I hope to continue to develop a lasting relationship with this family and share some good times together! (Their daughters are adorable)

I would like to share that you do not need to move far away from home to meet some cool people. However open up and try some new things. Or maybe you should just move far away???  ;)

Talk to your neighbors and embrace your community...if you have one
