Week Six: The Return

Bonjour Readers,

We are back in France and thus back in school. Everything has been fairly normal but we both have a small case of post-vacation blues. We both loved Italy and the people were so very friendly so coming back to France has taken some adjustment. Nothing we couldn't handle though.

Thursday was a beautifully sunny day and we went to a park sat in the sun and drank some wine with our friends Isaac and Katherine. It was relaxing and a very nice afternoon. We have decided that wine and sunshine are a very nice combination.

Saturday night we met up with Katherine and Isaac at a local Indian food restaurant and we all got big plates and shared. The food was really bland and spiceless which surprised all of us because Indian food is usually the opposite of that. We left there and started walking to a tea cave called Coco Boheme where Katherine had to meet some friends to work on a project for school. We got to the street of the tea place when Isaac realized he had forgotten his phone. Carly and Katherine went into the tea place and Isaac and Jeff ran back to get Isaac's phone. Luckily the server had recognized that Isaac left his phone on the table and it was a non-issue. Isaac and Jeff met up with Carly and Katherine at the tea place and we all lounged and had a great few hours relaxing and drinking tea. After the tea place we went to The PTT to have drinks. Isaac and Jeff both had pastis (a local favorite) which tastes exactly like black licorice; it was not Jeff's favorite. Katherine and Carly shared a gin spritz which was lemonade with a little gin in it (it was delicious). We sat and relaxed for a while until Isaac looked down and informed us all it was 3 am. We were all very surprised because we had no idea it had gotten to be that late. We decided it was time to go home and go to bed.

Sunday was spent doing homework and catching up on things that needed doing. A lazy but productive day.


That is all for this week,

Carly & Jeff
