As we research our various stops, we have started figuring out what we will most likely do in each port. When we get to France, we plan to take a bus from Le Havre to a nearby fishing town, Honfleur, that looks like a much more interesting place to spend the day. This recently led to the realization that I may actually have to use some of the French that I learned way back in high school. Sacré bleu!
As I mentally tried to at least run through the numbers from 1 to 100, useful for discussing everything from prices to bus routes to bus schedules, I realized that there are a few critical brain cells that are either missing or seriously malfunctioning. I need to do some intense refreshing of my basic vocabulary, so I am looking forward to running through some French with Keenan this weekend. I just have to make sure he does not try to sneak in some Swedish instead!
