Catching our Breath (& Visits)

It was a more low key day, starting with a big sleep in for Claire after a late night. After Claude's departure back to Savoie the previous day, we had new "roommates" - her daughter Clemence's mother and father in law Samia and Jean-Yves, who were in Paris for medical visits from their home in Tunis. We enjoyed chatting with them over breakfast and learned more about life in Tunisia, as they moved there after retiring from their medical careers in Paris, and Samia grew up there. We made a trip to Decathlon to figure out bike boxes, prioritized a nap for Claire, then headed back out on the bikes to the Marais and Bastille districts. We met up with Gisèle's daughter Dominique, her partner Clodagh and son Cody (22 months old) for a drink on the terrace of a brasserie. We caught up on our lives, since it had been ages since Holly and Dominique had last seen each other, and Claire sang Cody songs to entertain him - it was a super nice little visit! We had a simple Greek-inspired dinner along Rue de la Roquette, then headed home for an earlier bedtime.Baca lagi
