Home of my french textbook

Besançon! This is where I am now. My beginning French textbook was set in this town, but I suspect that people no longer wear the hip circa 1994 fashions of Besançon that were in the book. It ended up pouring today so I didn't leave my new hostel. Yay days off! I was in Dijon sans cheap internet for 4 nights, and now I am on the move again. Dijon was a really cool city with great restaurants, and a wonderful proximity to delicious wineries and chateaux. anyway, today is my day off and I finished reading Madame Bovary, which I had begun the day my luggage was terribly lost at the airport. It is a good book to read here because even though Im reading it in translation, the cover makes it appear i'm reading a french book. yes, I'm a big dork like that. Anyway it was a great read and gave me many things to ponder (since I have much pondering time these days). I took a ridiculous nap today for like 5 hours after I arrived in Besançon, and it was definitely much needed. I hope I can get to sleep on the early side though tonight because I take a day trip to the town of Pontarlier tomorrow. i need to find a new book to read...good thing we list an english bookstore in this town so I can use my trusty Lets Go guide to find one.
