We were invited to Marie and Michel's house on Saturday. They promised to show us slides of their trip to Kathmandu 10 years ago. It was our turn to talk French, as our last outing had been in English, and it went remarkably well. Jon and Marie don't speak so readily as Michel and myself but it is helping them to open up too, and we understood each other quite easily. We had an amusing time comparing the difficulties faced by foreigners in our respective languages.
The slide show was incredibly professional, shown on a huge TV screen, pin sharp, with mountain peaks labelled, their heights included, great slide transitions and music and not too long. And, since photography is their hobby, really beautiful photos.
They are involved in a photographic exhibition for the next fortnight and we're going with them to see it tomorrow.
