You had almost forgotten about me, had you? I deserve that. Its been a long time since I have updated my blog. But believe me it will be well worth the wait. I am have been cooking up lots of news lately.
The really big news is that I will no longer be Lost in Chile. I will be lost in another foreign country. On another continent, believe it or not.
Luis has accepted a post-doctoral position in Bordeaux, France. We will be moving there on the first of November. And we will live there from 1 - 3 years, depending on how things go.
Luis is looking forward to working with cutting-edge astronomy data from the space telescope Hershel. He is quite excited to be a part if this project. This telescope orbits with the earth to collect images. The satellite Hershel with be able to see things that we are not able to see through the earth atmosphere.
I am excited about more important things. Like living in Europe and be able to travel all over. First stop outside of France will be to go to London to see my good friend there. Then I hope to see Amsterdam and Croatia (for some reason).
However, I am not looking forward to learning my second foreign language in three years. This is a pretty dizzying thought. Also, Luis and I will miss a summer. (This will be the third time in five years that Luis has missed a summer, poor guy). But when duty calls...
I never thought I would live in France. I also never thought I would learn how to ballroom dance, but this is happening too. In Chile, I have had lots of new experiences.
OK, stay tuned kiddies. Because I will have more new experiences to talk about. Things that I never thought I would find myself doing. Hint... it involves me and a microphone.

We could never forget about you Elise! Cingratulations to you both on the move! maybe you should stop somehere tropical on the way to France. :)
Sounds great. Looking forward to meeting you guys here in Europe.
Don't worry, I'll let you settle down first, get familiar with the new city, its vineyards and wine-tasting places. :-)
Eek! That sounds exciting, but good luck with that second foreign language in two years. I think my head would explode if I tried to do the same. :)
Wow, that is great news Elise. What a fantastic life you and Luis are living. I am so happy for the two of you. Can't wait to see the news and photos from there as well. :)
Congrats to you both! This is so wonderful! Can't wait to see the pictures!
