Katie's Home

In Katie’s apartment most of her furniture has come from the school where she works or has been generously donated by the nice teachers at her school. This means that We usually eat at her coffee table while sitting on our Moroccan poofs and pillows. On this little table we have great feasts of salmon chowder or sautéed veggies with mashed potatoes and chicken for the meat eaters. Brunch of fruit salad and baguette with jam or peanut butter and honey along with tea. Tea is our what keeps us warm throughout the day up here in Dunkurque, I would say that each of us drink at least 3 cups a day.

When we are not drinking tea and eating fancy French meals we entertain ourselves by watching French films or going to see the local hockey team play a game, sometimes we even venture out to get a drink, However, I would not recommend that night life here in Dunkurque. Here are a few photos of Katie’s lovely home that she has so generously welcomed us into.

If I have not mentioned this before, Katie is our friend from Bellingham who is living here and teaching English at a local school. Katie majored in French so she can get around quite well. Becc and I love to hear stories about Katie’s students, she teaches junior high school age and all of the boys have crushes on her and try to make eyes at her while she teaches. Katie is constantly reminding them that she is about 10 years older than all of them. They reply with “ ce n’est pas grave“ which means, “It doesn’t matter.”
