Laughter: known well in all languages!

Tonight was a great night! I have never felt so comfortable during my homestay as I was last night. I was able to communicate what I was thinking without worrying so much about screwing up. That usually hold me back in class and at home. I sit silently, watching, waiting, for the right time. I never seem to grab it fast enough, and it disappears with my voice. But last night I had fun! I really haven't had a fun night with my family here in La Rochelle. Webster defines fun as "what provides amusement or enjoyment; specifically : playful often boisterous action or speech" and boy was that what I experienced last night. We talked about what we did during the day, what we wanted to do tomorrow, food(seems to be a fav. topic of ours), Disney, life, etc. Our laughter was so loud, I am sure that the neighbors heard us. It felt so good to have that connection finally with them. I really don't all that weird around them anymore. It still isn't the same as home, but it feels more like a home to me now.
