can i get a bon jour

alliance francaise de denver is a great place to volunteer, n'est ce pas?  it was a swirly kind of snow day.... like living in a snow globe.  the snowflakes chased each other in the sky and raced sideways to the ground.  i chose to ignore it piling up in the streets and head for a volunteer call. i knew the desperate plea for help from suzanne was some kind of omen.   the whole experience was happy right down to the chocolate and the art and meeting Guillaume. i announced early in my intro there, that i know i was meant to be here and today i was hoping to find out why.  alas, as i was stuffing the brochures my answer came.   i had been researching language schools for americans in france and was having little success.  within the brochures i was handling was their program for linguistic stays in france......  numerous locations, up to 30 days stay with a family or private accommodations, 15 hours of french/wk and unbelievable prices.  magic happens in the high plains of america. a prochaine!
