Snow, snow, snow!

Just a quick post with some very exciting news! It snowed in Brest this morning! I haven't seen snow in France at all this winter.
Here are some pictures for proof.


Notice the flowers in front of the house. They've been out all winter. There are hibiscus bushes in full bloom and palm trees randomly scattered about. Meanwhile the weather is gray and icky a lot of the time. I'm constantly confused by this climate.

Otherwise life is going pretty well here. This past weekend we organized a little soirée. We had a really great time. It was so nice to talk with other people...in French! I'm also in the process of planning a trip to Brussels for February break which is the week of the 16th. I'm really looking forward to a change of scenery.
