Dinner

Last night, we had dinner with Germain's best man and his girlfriend. it was our wedding present. It's a five course meal where we don't know what they're going to bring out. They pair a wine with each course as well, but of course....i didn't take that option. pretty good.

Long weekend

So we had a three day weekend this past week.

We went to a live concert on Thursday night. It was all classic disney cartoon music played by an orchestra. It was very enjoyable. They sounded really nice. And of course they would have some scenes from disney movies playing in the background.

On friday we left for Cannes. We went to the south of France for a couple of days because Germain's cousin's baby has her baptism...and Germain's the godfather! There were lots of kids and they're all so cute. It was a small ceremony.

Its getting cold here in Paris. Remember the park by Germain's school? Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees already. It's still really pretty.

So sorry for not updating in a while, but honestly we haven't done too much lately that I would need to update. Germain's been busy with school so he has to study hard. I've been taking my classes and studying as well. Also, the weather hasn't always been the nicest. It's been gloomy half of the time. Also now with the time change....it gets dark really early. Not like the summer....where the sun was still pretty bright at 9pm. Oh well.

This Sunday we took some time off to visit an area right outside of the main city of Paris. You can still get to it through the metro. Its the last stop on the line one.

There we visited the castle (Chateau de Vincennes) It's a Medieval castle with a huge wall and huge moat around it. Honestly, it wasn't the most impressive site we've gone to. It didn't have a lot to see. So we were lucky because we went on a Sunday that happened to have free entry. ^_^

the outside wall of the fort

The inner wall and the main part of the castle. This is where the king slept, where he kept his gold and where the dungeon is located.

The church inside the castle walls.

Inside the church. It is also named Saint Chapelle....the the one in Paris with lots of stained glass windows

After we visited the castle we took a walk in the huge park right next to the castle. It was a nice walk in a very pretty park. The fall season is really here. We saw the different colors on the trees and the ground covered with leaves. It was really pretty.

pretty leaves

pretty colors

there are wild peacocks around the park! not caged in or anything! We saw four of them

children playing the the swans and ducks

The park also had a huge park for children! It made me want to be small again so I would be able to play in the park without people looking at me weird. =P

doesn't that look fun??

Germain had fun ^_^

That's all. Back to studying. Test every Tuesday!
