one of the families i saw while there had just had their first baby! he is such a doll and seriously amazing as he is already in this semi-routine sleeping and eating and sleeping and eating...
my friends definitely spoiled me on my trip. the French food was fabulous!! we had a really fun dinner out at this quaint spot in the centre ville area (downtown). i had escargot (snails), frog legs, and this amazingly yummy chocolate/vanilla desert. it was such a treat to be with these friends and i am ultra thankful for their hospitality.
we were all excited to see SNOW! we were like little kids--well, we actually had some in the car with us, so it was all, right? but it was such fun. we drove up a mountain to check out this fun sight and fo course the kiddos loved the snow. the weather was really refreshing and the air was sooo clean:)
this is a fountain in centre ville called the Elephants that represents a man that went to India and made a name for himself. it was a neat deal. it was sooo nice to be out on the town at night, too. such a beautiful city.
i brought henna with me to do with my friends. it was a lot of fun and the girls loved it. it was fun--we had Domino's pizza and they treated me to some Ben and Jerry's ice cream! yum!
all in all the trip was great. it was a bit strange to be back in the situation of not being able to communicate with the people because i don't know French. but i was super impressed with my friends' language progress. i am really proud of them! i was happy when i got back to NA as i was able to communicate with the people:) it was fun to see what progress i have made thus far. i have to say that when i returned back here i felt like i was back home.
France was full of baguettes, baby M, the girls, my fabulous friends, nice talks, many walks, and did i mention the great sights, food, and SNOW! :)
