Last Day of Vacation

Well, my parents left Paris today...they are probably somewhere over the Atlantic as I type this. We had a great visit, and Mom & Dad were impressive tourists. Not only did they take in the standard sites (such as Le Tour Eiffel, Versailles, Notre Dame, etc) but also managed to have some more unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences (such as successfully navigating a Parisian laundromat, having antique banjos fall on top of them, and eating frog's legs, just to name a few). Thanks for visiting!

Yesterday, Dad and I took a bike ride along the Coulee Verte all the way to Parc de Sceaux. It was a chilly day, but at least it didn't rain, and we had pretty much the whole park to ourselves with the exception of a few joggers and insane fishermen. We returned to a remarkable dinner at home, the highlights of which included fresh rabbit with a mustard sauce prepared by Claire (picture on right) and a wonderfully rich charlotte au chocolat, a Pecqueur family tradition dessert as prepared by Claire's sister Laure.

French words for the Day: le lapin (rabbit) and les cuisses de grenouille (frog's legs)
