Another evening at the spa!

Okay, so here I am, floating around in salt water
and I lose my wrist band that enables me to get
into my locker and out of this facility.
I float over to the edge of this fast
moving mini river which surrounds numerous
inner  circles of  jacuzzi type stations for every
part of your body, "beds" with  jacuzzi jets
suspending your body in  the water, and I
stop by a gentlemen who seems to work here.
"Excusez-moi monsieur, j'ai perdu mon bracelet."
He smiled, handed me some goggles, told me to
try and find them and come back.  I swam with
the current around the "river" and returned
to see this gentlemen waving my bracelet.
"Vous etes Americain?"  NON   (Kurt, I denied
this, HONEST)....je suis Canadienne.  Then
he said "Petula Clark!!!"  and added,
"vous avez un accent magnifique! "(you
have a magnificent accent)    This is hilarious.
It seems in France I have this alter ego, Petula!
At a time when I feel I am barely staying above
water in my new French culture,while my comfort
zone is pushed to the limit daily,  this gentleman
made my day,  It is amazing what a  compliment
can do.

Bye the way, this spa included children and we,
Rachel, Tonya and I brought five kids along,
lest you think I was floating around sans les
enfants.

Stay tune for photos of our zoo trip earlier
this day.
