Bonne année tout le monde (Happy New Year everyone)! I just wanted to check in and assure you that I am indeed alive -- I haven't drowned in the flood waters of the river Doubs, although the river level is a full meter above the "warning level" thanks to the onslaught of rain over the past few weeks. I'm starting to think it will never stop! I haven't had time to update you all on my Christmas and New Year's exploits because I have been hosting Brooke basically since I got back to Besançon. We've been having a good time, although I was wretchedly sick all of Thursday with a horrible stomachache that lasted about 24 hours (flu? food poisoning?). I also feel sort of badly because Besançon is much less fun in the cold and yucky weather. That, and lots of things have been closed for the holidays/winter (like the Citadelle, which we tried to visit this afternoon). But we've been making the best of it. Tonight we both went to Ultimate practice and had a great time!
I'm sorry this post is so brief, I'll do my best to put up entries as soon as possible on my family's visit, New Years in Paris, and Brooke's visit here to Besançon. I hope you all are well!
Check out these pictures Brooke took yesterday of the Doubs:
