on 6/6/06 i went to the top of the eiffel tower. other than hating the feeling of lonliness while all the tourists around me were there visiting with family, friends, fiances, boy/girlfriends, i enjoyed the view and the strange quietness and serenity at the top of the tower. everyone just stands up there in a weird reverent silence, taking pictures

I was hoping you'd enjoy France more than you seem to have been. I'm sorry.

my stepmother says i just need to meet the right group of people (other Americans living here on business).

i'm in a weird state; i've been here enough times to be past the tourist stage, almost long enough to know where to meet people, but not long enough to learn the language really well or establish friendships.

Your mom might have a good point. Hanging with other foreigners would at least tide you over until you could make more French friends.
