Living in the South

Living down near Solaize has been convenient, yet interesting, for Paul. He thinks he is out in the boonies, in a small town away from the city. He is living at the home of an old gracious French woman. It is not quite a bed and breakfast but more like a boarding house(?) since he is like a house guest there. The woman doesn't speak English so that is good for Paul - it keeps him "immersed". The woman does speak German too, so between Paul's French and German, they do communicate quite well. She has prepared delicious meals and has been a wonderful hostess. Paul said she seems lonely and he will hate to leave.
