C’est parti

Our Parisian life is in full swing. We’ve spent hours wandering the streets of our neighbourhood and discovering all the little gems. The best of which has been Le bar à soupes, a little restaurant that cooks up 6 amazing soups each day. We had supper there on Monday. One of the specials is a 3 soup sampler, which was excellent because it was too hard to make up our minds. I had: Pea and mint, Mushroom, and Apple, Tomato and Ricotta (amazing). I know we are going to become regulars.

That’s a lamb shoulder from the bistro across the street. The potatoes were the best part. That’s not a slight against the lamb, the potatoes were just fantastic.

We’ve begun taking French classes at the Alliance Française, we found this butter, we survived the first day of the winter sales and I’ve been back to work subbing. We also running several times a week. Not only because the gyms here aren't great (they really aren't) but because of the alarmingly rapid rate at which was are consuming the butter. We made it to the Notre Dame on Saturday (7.5 km)!

We’ve spent all of our evenings doing homework (the teacher does not like becoming the student!) trying to organize our wedding (still totally happening) and finalizing our trip to South Africa next month! It's the good kind of busy!
