Serenade

So today was another lazy day...unemployment seems to suite me well so far. Walked around and had lunch in a brasserie, ham and cheese this time, no conversations with my food. The weather has been amazing, I can't complain. Hiked up to Sacre Coeur in the afternoon and just sat out on the steps reading, enjoying the view and then watching the sunset. There was a red-headed woman, probably in her 40's, who kept belting out into song all throughout the afternoon, so she provided much entertainment. She managed to get a small group of elementary school kids to join her in song, which brought laughter to the crowd around us. Then, she decided to sing to a larger group of high school students from Barcelona, who clapped and encouraged her to sing more...which led to her dancing down the steps and such. I guess you had to see it, luckily, the singing wasn't bad, otherwise it would have ruined it. So my hopes to tour the champagne region have been dashed, apparently the tour is only available on Tuesday's until April and I didn't book enough in advance. So, hoping to head off to the Loire Valley tomorrow and then Normandy on Thursday. I haven't figured out how to post pictures on this thing yet, hopefully I can figure it out eventually. And yes Drew, heard about the food for the week and I am jealous, mainly because I'm craving enchiladas, not Q...so thanks for rubbing it in you big meanie! No wine for you!! ;)
