After 15 hours of travel, I arrived in Paris. I touched down in Chicago 5 minutes after my connecting flight to Paris was suppose to start boarding. I rush off the plane and to the next concourse (O'hare is a massive airport), to see that the flight is delayed by an hour and a half.
Now that my stress levels are down, I take my mom's advise and find something that chicago is known for. Not their wind, baseball stadiums or deep dish pizzas. A HOT DOG!
Jump ahead 12 hours, the customs agent didn't even say hello, stamped my passport and continued on my way. The car ride to Saint Leu la foret, the village where the family is was a little awkward. It was a brutal test of my french skills. The family is often reluctant to speak english but i believe they can. I got a tour of their house, went to the supermarket, took the boys to soccer and archery and then had dinner.
All things considered it was a great day and will hopefully be the start of a good summer as an au pair!
My second day started with 13 hours of sleep!
