Well, I made it to Paris in one piece and made it to my new home without too much trouble. I even bought myself a Navigo pass for next week -- I knew we would need passport-size photos, so I had some taken at a Kodak store in Cairo yesterday. Starting tomorrow, I get to ride the Metro as much as I want!
Madame de LA ROCHEFOUCAULD! is an older woman who has five grown sons, one of whom lives at her house although I haven't met him yet. I have a lovely balcony as promised, but unfortunately I do not appear to have internet -- I am writing this post from a McDonald's about ten minutes away. My room is nice and simple, and I think I will be comfortable in it. Overall I'm just glad to be in a country where I can drink the tap water and flush my toilet paper!
Pictures tomorrow! My language test is at 8:30. I am amused that they need to test me in order to truly ascertain that I cannot speak any French.

I enjoyed your adventures in Egypt. Now it's on to new ones in France Oui? That means yes in French. Now you know at least one word! HA! love ya, Auntie
well at least her name is easy to pronounce.
I always felt that way about my French tests at UChicago!
