Enter our dear friend LiAnn Acito-Kahn. She's an American who's being living in Strasbourg since she graduated from college - and basically lives across the street from us. She's actually an english teacher at one of the local universities.
I met her the first day I moved into our current apartment, and ironically enough, she is also the landlord of Gaby's apartment down the street. While Patrick was in Germany and the UK (post to follow), we were able to have a lovely dinner together - most recently last Thursday. More to follow with LiAnn.
