Feeling better, found le fromage

Yes, it's true.  This is the cheese section at the supermarket.  I was actually able to converse a bit with the woman working at this cheese-dispensing section (you can't see, but it was roped off to prevent overly excited foreigners like me from crazily tasting their way through the seemingly hundreds of varieties from chevre, to Roquefort, to St. Marcellin).  She was kind enough to help me pick out some cheeses from the Rhone Valley region.  

I also bought a cheese sandwich for lunch from a local boulangerie.  Yum.  

On a more serious note, I had two hours of private instruction to learn French medical vocabulary.  It was awesome.  I learned a ton, and realized that knowing Spanish is a definite advantage while learning medical French.  My teacher was very animated and knew a great deal about the medical field.  I'm looking forward to another day of class tomorrow focusing on grammar.  Yes, it's true.  I'm a grammar nerd.  But it helps me understand the language and how to form sentences.  


Hope your week is off to a great start and you are staying warm!  Love,  Caro
