Three Months in France March 31 – June 28, 2007

Today’s Photos

With a little over one week left until we return to Canada, Marissa—she’s our designated packing expert—decided to start packing today. Meanwhile the kids played around the house and enjoyed swimming in the pool.

Late in the afternoon we walked to the village pub so that the kids could enjoy an ice cream while Marissa and I enjoyed a Panaché (A delicious mixture of beer and lemonade introduced to us by my aunt Carole). And, of course, we stopped and fed our favourite donkeys on the way. One interesting thing about the businesses in Giroussens, including the pub and the bakery, are that they are often attached to the front of the business owner’s house. I guess this makes for a fast commute.

On another note Marissa was going to try to catch a train to Barcelona in the coming days but she unfortunately concluded today that there isn’t enough time remaining to do this. We’re already beginning to think of our next family adventure to Europe and are actively brainstorming on where to stay and visit.
