Before we say a final au revoir to the month of January, we should say bonjour to our monos du mois de janvier –Chloë et Thérèse!

Salut from Marseille! I’m spending the semester here studying French, Arabic language and culture, and the relationship between la France and l’Afrique du Nord. On my way to Marseille, I stopped in Paris for a week, where I spent a great afternoon with Angélique. We went to the Centre Pompidou, a modern art museum, and then to a café. Here in Marseille, I’m especially enjoying eating fresh baguettes and trying as many different yogurt flavors as I can (there are so many choices in France!). I can’t wait for this summer at Lac du Bois! A bientôt! Chloë

Bonjour, tout le monde!  I’m back in Michigan for the school year, teaching le français and studying at the University of Michigan.  It’s been very cold here, so I’ve been drinking lots of chocolat chaud—et du café, bien sûr!  When I’m not teaching or studying, I like to chanter, nager, and think about new atéliers and veillées for next summer.  J’ai hâte pour l’été, and I hope to see you all back with us at Lac du Bois in 2010!  A bientôt, Thérèse
