7 September 2009
We arrived in Paris on Thursday the 4th to be greeted by my dear friend Alex. the weather was cold, but we were jet lagged and didn’t mind staying in. We met her boyfriend and their brand new puppy. Our first few days here have been amazing, especially because the sun decided to come out yesterday.
We have stayed on Alex and Dave’s schedule, (go to bed very late and get up in the afternoon) so getting over jetlag has been a breeze. I’m still covered in black fly bites from my last days in Canada spent at Jonny’s parents’ house in Ste-Émilie-de-l’énergie. A souvenir from home I guess.
Our time in Canada was so wonderful, but short! Certain moments, like seeing my family for the first time, my sister’s wedding, meeting new babies in the family, I had been dreaming of for so long. Once they came, I wasn’t disappointed! I had so much home at home. So many card games and g&ts... I am looking forward to my next visit already!
The day before we left Canada, we got some good news from our friends Laurent and Amandine. Their dog Gitane, the one we took back to Luxembourg from Turkey for them, had a litter of puppies and there’s one with our name on it! It’s a little black female with white paws, a white tail and a spot on her back. We are very very excited to meet this little one! We’ll be picking her up in 6-8 weeks!
So, we are still in vacation mode at the moment. We are enjoying Paris (they have vélibs here! They’re like Montréal’s bixi bikes and we love them!) Next week, we will either head to Belle-Ile en mer, or Luxembourg. Depending on which ride we can get... Our plan is to fix up the Wombat in Luxembourg (we need to clean it and reorganize it), pick up our puppy in France, and then head on down South to Italy. I’ll have to get a visa, but that shouldn’t be a problem. We don’t have anything really planned out yet, nor do we have leads for any jobs, but we’re not worried. We’ll make fun things happen, we’re usually pretty good at that.
