It's a great old life, but one gets used to it as it comes I spend most of my evenings trying to learn to count this French money. A person can figure and count all day and then can't tell how much money he has. We have orders to go back to the states, but its hard to tell how long be fore they get transportation for us. Maybe tomorrow and maybe two or three months. I would like to travel around and see more of this country, but to stay here longer, the visit is over as far as I am concerned. I do know It will be a cold trip if we go to Boston or New York in the near future, but that will not worry many of the boys. We are not doing much now.
