The Most Fabulous of Weekends: Weekend 2

Sunday: Slept in today and woke up about 9:30a- early enough that Christine and Lionel were still at the breakfast table. The three of us sat in our pj's and had bread with jam and drank coffee as the sun warmed us through the windows. It was such a simple breakfast but somehow is one of my favorites so far. Maybe part of it is that Guilhem was away with boy scouts and Emma and her boyfriend were still asleep, so it was like the three of us woke up just to have a secret breakfast together where no one else was invited.
After breakfast I went up to my room to work on my blog, laze around, and whatnot. My friend Roshanna texted me after that to get together for lunch. I got dressed and made the half hour walk to her room and then we sang Disney songs for a bit before walking downtown. We had both apparently forgotten that it was Sunday and that means that almost nothing was open today. We were very lucky to find a pizza place, "Pizzeria L'Etna," that was open but was serving a limited menu for lunch. Roshanna and I each ordered the calzone with ham, cheese, mushrooms, and one fried egg inside. Mmmmm mmmmm it was good

After lunch we walked around downtown Pau a little bit: we went in a couple of shops, walked by the château, and strolled down the Boulevard des Pyrenees. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold out and we could only stand that for so long. We took the bus back to Roshanna's after maybe an hour outside.

Now for the real reason we got together today at all: to plan out our weekends! We went through my tour books and maps for at least two hours planning out trips to take each weekend for the next 3 months. I'll be posting the list up here pretty soon but for now, I satisfy you with this:

~In February, we have about a ten day break. My group and I are going to use that time to fly to Athens, Greece; spend three days there; fly to Naples, Italy; train to Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice; and back to France.   =)

This was not a very magnificent day but I am truly bouncing in my seat with excitement over everything we planned out today! It looks like every weekend for the next few months is going to be the best weekend of my life.
I made it home in time for dinner: a tasty cauliflower soup and a couscous/ham/bacon bake. It looked like the couscous, meat, and tomatoes had been mixed together and then baked with a thick layer of cheese on top. It was very very good. After dinner, I was able to catch up with my family for a good hour and a half and told them all about Bordeaux. I think my parents are looking forward to that wine I bought. ;) Another very enjoyable Sunday in Pau!
