Bonjour!

Day 1 diagnostics: it’s really really hard to find French people who know what Celiac’s Disease is. However, I did meet a British Woman on the ferry who has had it for 12 years. She visits her summer home in France with it. That got my hopes up about travelling to the South until she said that she brought all her food with her from England. Merde!

On the upside, Justin and Hombeline and I are understanding each other about 80, maybe even 90% of the time. Not bad for someone who hasn’t been to France in 7 years!
