Happy BIRTHDAY!

Saturday: Fabulous things happened. We went to a chateau (a castle for all you non-French speakers) with David (Dah-veed). The chateau is in Villandry and the gardens were GORGEOUS. The story behind the garden of love was the most interesting and I suggest everyone go and research a bit on it right now.......it's pretty cool. David was a dear and took us by car to the chateau. It was awesome. Pics are up on facebook. 'Nuff said.

That night we had a little get together at David's and ate raclette (google it!) nom. nom. nom. SOOOO GOOD! Then we went home and slept.

Sunday........... we did nothing. Glorious, glorious, nothing-ness. I mean, I did lesson plans........but that's it. Sunday night we went to a bar (a metal bar...in case you were curious, slim pickin's on Sunday nights) with Amelie our French friend that Marie introduced us to. She was really nice. Jim and Lydian (sp?) came too. We had a good time. I drank a beer. It was too expensive.

Amelie told us about this boite (club) called Les trois orfevres (which I just word referenced and it means the three goldsmiths.........???.........). Anyway. I think we're going to hit it up one night and see how it is. I know, me........at a club.......hmmm...... Well, here are the reasons why I might go:

1. The fee is only 2 euros (versus 15 at another club)
2. They only play rock music
3. Drinks are 3 euros
4. Amelie wants to go
5. I'm in France, why not?
6. French boys?

So......I figure I might as well give it a try. Maybe Friday or something....hmmm...

Monday. I taught some classes. One went horribly the rest were alright. Grace came over for dinner. We made pasta. I got brioche with Krystal. We sat on a bench and people-watched. I wrote a letter. Talked to AJ about Sunday (5 DAAAAAYYYYZZZZZ!!!!). Watched some Twilight (don't judge!) and.........slept.

Today. I taught one class. It was.....okay.... And.....I'm thinking about taking a nap.......and then I'm going to do lesson plans....and.......umm.........then..... we're having a slumber party!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OKAY. The one super duper awesome interesting thing I did this week was......... (drumroll please)............. Played an accordion. That's right. I, Amanda Catron, played an accordion. Jealous?

Love Always,
Amanda
