Fall comes to France

Fall is my favorite time of year, and Limoges is putting on it's brightest colors for me. It's just beautiful. Here are few pictures from around the city.

A Misplaced Heart

I miss my covenant family. I miss your smiles and hugs. I miss Sundays, worshiping together, confessing our sins together, eating lunch together, and Sunday nights talking on the Porch together.

I don't have anymore words to express this feeling. Pray for me friends.

Music in the Streets

Limoges is a small city, but it hasn't lacked in fun things to see and do. For the last month, there has been a city wide push to promote the arts which has provided lots of entertainment. This promotion of the arts has ranged from large scale productions of musicals, ballets and orchestras to caricature exhibits, French rappers from the Congo, and small time bands playing in the streets.

I ran across one such street playing band a few weeks ago. It was a very entertaining little show. This group has to be one of the most active bands I have ever seen, and the music was a lot of fun. I even bought their CD. The name of the band is Orchestre International Du Vetex. Check them out at www.oidv.net

Here are a few pictures.

24 hour Internet Connection

I finally have internet in my room!!!

After much putting off until tomorrow, the office here at the dorms saw fit to get the job done. They promised that there would be internet connection available in the rooms by the middle of September. That promise actually meant that's when they would start the process of connecting the buildings here. So, after much waiting, and not very patiently I might add, I no longer have to sit in the empty hallway of the chemistry building on campus to catch a few minutes online before they kick me out at 8pm. I now have uninterrupted access to that precious link to my life back home in my cozy little room.
