Little Update: guests, Frisbee, and weather

Hey everyone, I'm keeping this update brief because, strangely enough, I have guests! Shawna McNally, Bill Thurston, and Katie Goodell from Whitworth arrived in Montpellier on Saturday and are staying here until tomorrow. They're making a nine-week tour through western Europe, an incredible and exhausting trip. Believe it or not, all four of us are managing to sleep in my one room -- my one, typically tiny, 9 square meter room. It's quite the lesson in conservation and efficiency.

Anyway, the main reason I wanted to post something was that last week I played in France's inter-regional university ultimate (Frisbee) tournament. If I have more time later this week maybe I'll include some of the more interesting details, but I wanted to let you know that there are pictures from the tournament on facebook. I was tagged in several of them, and you can click on the link to the photo album to see more pictures. It was a great time, and Montpellier, in only its second appearance in the tournament, took 7th out of 14 teams. Not bad at all!

After a freak snow storm over a week ago, spring is coming to Montpellier full force; the past three days have been sunny, slightly breezy, and warm. Life is good.

If you think of it, pray for Shawna, Bill, and Katie as they continue to travel. They're going to Italy next, and then Malta, and then who knows.

Greetings from France!
