Arrivée

(Arriving)

After looking at the dates of my last half dozen (douze) posts I realize une fois que deux semaines (once a two weeks) seems to be what je suis (I am) averaging.  

Side note on the douze:  these posts take me awhile to écrire because as je suis (I am) typing je suis revising so je can use mon français (my french) and then are running to a translator so I can check mon spelling.  This can take awhile as je play around with what word gets me the français je sais (I know).  Then there is the proof reading to include the anglais (translations), by the way je never trust mon own translations. So on to the amusement with twelve.  Je always try and take a crack at the français before I hit the translator, and je typed DOUZE, regarde (looked) at it and thought there is no way that is right.  To my not so trusty translator at which point je realized je had not idea how to spell twelve in english.  Je did have an idea but was wrong and the translator does not spell check in your own language for you.  So a side step to google, back to the translator to realized je has spelled it correctly in français to start.  While I am excited to relearn this first grade word in the privacy of my own home, and then share it with the internet, and not while in the middle of écrire une chéque (writing a check) valuable minutes lost as well as often my train of thought.

Back to the main point.  Daniel et je are now in Connecticut, by way of ma maison de parents (my parents house) in West Virginia, where ma soeur (my sister) was able to see us for dîner (dinner).  A stop off in New Jersey to visite deux trés bon amines (visit to very good friends), then just une nuit dans un hôtel et nous sommes ici (a night in a hotel and we are here).  Only six jours (days) in transit!  More and hopefully frequent Connecticut updates to come!

Additional Side Note: accidentally typed diner instead of dinner and the translation was wagon-restaurant, anyone else find that interesting?

Apologies to those of you that have just been dying to figure that one out.
