What might an Indian summer look like in Pau? Well here is a picture of part of the Boulevard des Pyrenées to give you an idea. This is a main road downtown that you can see the Pyrenees from.
Things have been looking up because I was able to meet some of the other English language assistants who are living in Pau. I'm really looking forward to Tuesday as well because there will be an all-day meeting where we'll meet the other language assistants for German, Spanish, etc.
The rest of this week I'm going to open a bank account, find a bike and try to start some of the paperwork so I can get health insurance and all of that fun stuff. This great weather should continue throughout the weekend so I'm hoping to spend a lot of time outside before the cold and rain come. Work begins next week and I can't wait to get started!
I have been experiencing a type of Indian Summer here, too! It was pretty cold when I first got here, but it's been warm recently. It even got up to 89 in the Mission!! But rain and cold are coming this weekend, so no more of my Florida clothes for me :(
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of bikes, you should get a fixie ;) Apparently they're all the rage in Paris, without that "hipper-than-thou" hipster "element of snobbishness," according to local blog MissionMission hehehe.

Thanks for the comment Manda!
ReplyDeleteWow that's hot for San Fran! Haha, I had to look up a fixie, lol. Here in Pau I don't think so. I'll be riding around on actual roads so I need a type of bike I'll be used to. When I go back to Paris though I'll try to find one and see if I can get a ride! ;)
