TGIF

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, it sparkles!

Vive la France

Well it's done. Me and the Man booked our flight to La République française. (Sounds more tropical that way, non?) We ship out on Friday June 13th (doomsdayers keep your peanut gallery comments to yourselves)

We're there just two weeks so won't be getting to see all the family and friends we'd like to... if we did, we'd spend more time travelling cross-cross the countryside rather than visiting... which while not bad for sight-seeing, if by 'sight-seeing' you mean just seeing things through the window of a car or train, bad if you want to spend time in the cities, towns and villages you pass, not to mention time with your friends.

Where we'll be going for sure is: Paris, Nantes, Pornic, Rennes, St-Malo and Mont-St-Michel. There will undoubtedly be many other stops along the way, certainly high on my list to see are some of the magnificent Châteaux of the Loire Valley, Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre and pastries, pastries, pastries...

And the best news of all... while in Paris, staying with our friend Lionel, we'll not only have access to some incredible Cafés, but also, just around the corner from his apt, the newest BEN & JERRY'S Ice Cream Shop in France... So Didier and I need not fret about our Ice Cream addiction...

Croissants, champagne, vrai café, champagne, cheese, champagne, frogs legs, champagne, coquille-st-jacques, champagne, decadent pastries, champagne, wine, champagne and ICE CREAM!


Vive La République!

HAPPY FRIDAY the 13th

While I am terribly superstitious... I actually like Friday the 13th. (fingers crossed even as I type this)

After the snow-mess here in Montréal yesterday; today, even the Friday-13 variety, can ONLY be an improvement.

So... enjoy... and remember, it's STILL Friday!!!
