As I type this post I'm sitting in the Spirit Bar in the Old City, which is owned by two English expatriates and is where I've been coming to post via their WiFi.
Last night Thérèse announced that the Régiment du Passé (Regiment of the Past) would be conducting a simulation of an eighteenth-century battle at the Fort des Sallettes today. It's not really a reinactment, because none of Briançon's forts were attacked until the Second World War, so it's really just a very elaborate cosplay session. But don't tell the soldiers that. This cosplay is serious business.
This morning, even though we had the choice to sleep in, I got up early as usual and walked to the grocery store, only to find that the photography boutique was closed. So I won't be able to include the soldiers in my documentary for lack of film. On the other hand, their film was horrifyingly expensive, and this way I'll be able to pay more attention with my digital camera in hand.
My next post will probably be made from home, unless I really feel like paying for an Internet cafe in Paris. I can’t believe it’s been five and a half months already. Europe was fantastic, but it will be good to get back to America.
For a little while, that is. I’ve only a year left at Guilford.
After that, who knows?

You should call or email your parents more often. You may not as poor as you think.
Great to have you home again. You won't need to keep up the front of being a picture of docility and obedience.
