I want to learn French, too bad you don’t live in NYC!
Bea – I am so glad you are back, the world is a much sunnier place with you in it.
welcome back!! 🙂
Ah yes Gerald, I actually miss teaching French. I met so incredible people doing this!
Thanks Sam! You are too nice! I tried to bring all the sun with me, heavy stuff to carry as NZ’s sun is BIG!
Thanks Francesca, yes I am back! 😉
