Week 1

Well we are here safe and sound!
Where exactly is here? A little village called Aumes near Montpelier in the south of beautiful France!
We are about a twenty minute drive from the Mediterranean Sea and 45 minutes from Montpellier which is where our plane landed.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to be bumped to first class which was absolutely heavenly. We received amazing treatment and slept like babies which made the transition from Saskatoon time to Paris time a lot easier. Thankfully all of our luggage also arrived which was a major blessing as this has never happened to us on an overseas flight before!
After sleeping for 18 hours, we are all well adjusted and feeling little to no jet-lag.
The house is magificent! Very quaint and adorable!
We heat it with a real wood burning fireplace and warm our beds with hot watter bottles!
The village is small, but beautiful. Picture the little village in Beauty and the Beast and that is exactly what it is like!
We are happy to say that Connor has already made some friends; two little boys from England and two from France who live here in the village.
This morning we feasted on freshly baked croissants and baguettes and now we are eating cheese and sipping wine... Well mom and dad are!
Tomorrow we are going to see Le Pont du Gard (a 160 feet high, two thousand year old bridge built by the romans) which is about an hour drive from our house.
Wednedsay we are going to Barcelona! We are going to stay the night and then come home Thursday. Hopefully we will do some shopping and lots of touring!
Connor was thrilled to see that he had already received emails and he loved replying so keep sending them!
And don't forget to send letters! We have an adorable post office just down the street from our house :)
Attached are some photos of our first days here.
It is safe to say that we are settling in quite well and are loving every minute of our France adventure!
We will keep you posted as often as we can!

Love,
The Kimpinskis
