We have only two full days remaining here in France before we board our flight home on thursday morning—hard to believe the adventure is almost over. We’re going to spend most of today cleaning and packing and if time permits we might take the kids to go see Shrek 3.
Yesterday I went over to my aunt Moniques place to help re-assemble the bookbinding equipment that we took apart and transported last Thursday. Bruno (Monique’s husband), David (Bruno’s employee) and I managed to get things re-assembled quite quickly. Both Bruno and David are very knowledgeable on French politics and history and I enjoyed speaking to them about these topics as it provided me with a chance to learn something while at the same time giving me opportunity to practice my French.
I snapped a few photos of the bookbinding equipment so you could get an idea of what this equipment looks like.
Man, this machine looks like it’s dating back to Gutenberg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Gutenberg 🙂 And the house is made of bricks, ahhhhh….. 😀

I’m not sure how old it is but it is extremely solid, the kind of thing that will last forever. The fit of the pieces is incredibly precise and the movements are very smooth.
