We danced;they clapped

Tonight we are in Besancon; Iam on a French keyboard so there may be some odd spellings because if I begin to go fast Ill get ,y fingers confused: There will be odd punctuations also because; Ihave no idea where the right ones are and if I use the left shift key all the letters suddenly go into caps: so I am trying to remember to just use the right shift but thats a vzey odd thing to ask your brain to remember this late:

We danced this night; ze had no music; but they clapped and Randall did the calls and it worked out: Everyone was laughing and having a good time and no one seemed to want to leave the meeting early; We also for the first time had an operating computer hookup: So, we did our modified power point program and it went well enough:

It rained all day today the first heavy rain since we have been here: We visited the birthplace of Louis Pasteur today in Dole; that was pretty interesting: Last night Randall and I stayed in a house that was built in the 1770s; before the United States was even formed: It was a neat old house situated between the river and a canal and just across the canal from the Pasteur home which we were able to walk to and from this morning, Yesterday morning we visited a cookie/bisquit factory; That was fun, interesting; and tasty--we got to sample cookies off the line before they even cooled for packaging;

We have been eating like little piggies---this afternoon for lunch we had an appetiser mold of rabbit: it was cured in such a way that it had a bit of a salami-like taste with extra bits of meat---which I couldnùt discern; so upon asking we learned that it was rabbit: it was very good.

Not knowing what you are eating makes it all quite wondeful; because then you do not make presuppositions qbout whether or not you should like it: This way your tastebuds and nose alone make the decisions:

Got to go now; am very sleepy and have no idea where the letters keep moving to:
