Got back from France yesterday night.
The boat ride was great. Got to see some villages I never thought I would. How does places like Chatillon sur Loire or Charite sur Loire sound?!?!
Charite was really nice but very small. I walked throughout town in about 10 mns. We did however find a very nice restaurant with a very odd and unfriendly waitress. All and all the vacation, the food and the wine and the sun has been great. I also developed a habit of drinking at least two glasses of wine with my lunch and coffee just before bedtime...
We lucked out with the weather. The first 3 days we had about +35 degrees and sunny. One night a huge thunderstorm hit us. Luckily we had stopped for the night but all of our chairs and table left out on deck blew off.
We stopped in Sancerre for some winetastings and had goatcheese at a farm right next to the canal.
In Paris I spent most of the time strolling around the streets and shopping. I only visited one museum, The museum of Erotica.... it was quite entertaining actually. It had everything from old porn from the Romans to very modern erotic art...
I did find a dress to wear to the G&V wedding in August and a very fierce pair of Marc Jacobs shoes. Also bought two new bags and a lot of wine...
We also watched the football game. Became a bit of an anti climax when the Italians scored. I can't belive ZiZou (that is what the French call Zinedine Zidane) but the Italian guy must have really said something to piss him off. The party was going on all day before the game but afterwards people seemed to be kind of surprised since most really expected the French to win.
Well, Allez les Bleus! They made it really far, much further than most expected.
Paris was great, I could really live there. I checked out some apartmentadds but it is so expensive.
Today I'm doing laundry and tonight Mr S and me are off to Malmoe and Kopenhamn to meet some of his friends and I'm going to be properly introduced to his parents. I am not looking forward to that.
When I came back to the apartment I could hardly recognize it... it was really clean in a scary sort of way. A box filled with books, that has been in my rooms for about one year, was gone and now my bookcases are actually filled with books and not piles of old paper - Mr S has cleaned!
He has also watched Sex and the City, he just started season 4...
Oh and I just have to mention that he welcomed me home with red roses and champagne :) He is more and more turning into one of those "to good to be true"-men but it seems like he isn't going anywhere - at least not without me...
Now, my dirty laundry awaits me. And now I'm talking about clothes that I have worn in +35 and sunny so they are not all that fresh....
Take care
Love/E
Song of the day: Sorry - Madonna
