This fountain is in the center of town (I took this a while ago - I promise we have no icicles any more).
Emily.
Joel gave these to Meg for Valentine's Day.
We had a roommate brunch a few weeks ago. It was rather delightful, with lots and lots of food.
That's Anthea on the left (a good friend from Lo's class), Philippa, and Sharareh.
Amelia, Ebba, and Lo... and Swedish pancakes.
Maria.
For Mardi Gras we went to a crêpe party, and were told to wear masks. The party was great - it consisted of us all sitting around eating various kinds of crêpes. Some people got a little off-topic and started exploring Mars bars smothered in whipped cream, but we won't talk about that.
Mont Sainte Victoire. We have climbed to the top twice.
Us with our dear friend Hélène.
We spent a rainy afternoon with our little brother, Charlie (another American), eating bread and cheese in a park while taking extremely flattering photos of ourselves.
A close-up shot of food... because it isn't a proper blog post without that.
One Sunday we went to the candy shop near our apartment and bought an assortment of things. Then we came home, made coffee, pulled out our cookies and caramels and calissons, and had a grand time.
Apparently the anticipation of discovering the goodies we bought made Em somewhat pensive.
Spring.
We recently got together with our friends Sheralynn and Elea and made pain au chocolat. It was a two-day process, but lots of fun, and the end result was worth it.
Meg and Lo went to Ciotat - a small town on the coast - with our American friends Will, Hannah, Hunt, and Sheralynn (that's Will and Hannah in this picture). Notice Meg's sunglasses, which she is quite proud of.
Sheralynn.
The water in Ciotat is fascinating.
Hunt. And a large, um, rock.
A cool plant.
Ciotat.
Eclectically fabulous! And the pain au chocolate photo and the final photo of the harbor in Ciotat are National Geographic-worthy! I want large reprints--the bread in my kitchen and the harbor in my living room! Hooray for these little windows into your world!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice post.
ReplyDeleteYour pain au chocolat look incredible.
As does the rest of your life over there. Soak it up.
The frustrating thing about those two pictures, Madre, is you can't even see all of them... for some reason the edges of the pictures don't fit within the format.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. We soak up as much as we can.
hi megan ...ect
