We left our life in the US with our four kids - 9, 7, 5 and 2 - to exchange houses, cars, schools, friends, and languages with a French family in the Cote d'Azur. Who knows what will happen in this life?

Tonight we had dinner with two French couples. Lots of political talk went on about who might be the next President of the United States. The general consensus was that Obama would be the right choice (except one dissenter--you know who you are!), but that he couldn't win.
Just to be clear, it was our friends who believe Obama can't win. But they're not Americans and I am. I believe Obama will win and can't think of many things that would make me happier right now. He could do some amazing things for the country. I'm way less sure that we can say that about the other guy. I guess perhaps this is heresy given that McCain is from Arizona, but so be it. Here's to hoping we give Obama his chance...
After a home exchange in the south of France in 2007-8, our family of six decided to stick around a little longer. We live in an old French farmhouse that was built sometime in the mid-late 1800's.

It's a pity he had to have such a tussle with Hilary....
What a waste of resources, all for one woman's ego.
