Living here is going to get lonely, I fear. Maybe Im going to have to make an effort to get to know some of the French moms at the school.
This afternoon I was riding the tram to the park and ride sort of near our house after going downtown for lunch with a friend. Shes leaving for the US Wednesday. Shes excited. Me? Not really so much. It hit me on the tram ride… in a couple of months I wont have anyone around to go to lunch with. So many of the ISE families are being repatriated. Its not like Im friends with everyone whos leaving. But it feels like everyone Im friends with is in that group. And its not that I want to go home. Im ok staying. Im just figuring I wont have much to do. Maybe Ill get good at cleaning the house. Scrap that; that isnt realistic.
By the end of summer, there will be five ISE families left here. And that number could change again.
