After three years telling my family about Anaïs and Michèle, Anaïs’ mom, and Anaïs and Michèle about my family, they finally had the opportunity to meet each other face to face for the first time at a little café by Anglet beach.  We had an apératif.  Apératif is a French term meaning to get together for a drink. 

In spite of the language differences in both families as my parents haven’t used their French in 25+ years and Michèle has not used her English in 25+, we managed to communicate well as Anaïs and I could communicated in both French and English and so, we did some translation.  Also, since Anaïs, Michèle, and Adam all knew Spanish, they communicated together in Spanish.  So, there were lots of languages flowing into our ears.  It’s sure not easy to hear two or more languages at the same time !
