Do you have friends in France?

You know....FRIEEENDS. FRIEENDS.


Yes. Yes I do.

And we went out a few weekends ago in search of French fun and games and ended up at a French pub where we had cider, because it's the drink of Normandy.


Our cider came in a Girafe... "What's a Girafe?" you ask...Imagine something from science class:


Photo taken with my phone...no judging!
And the waiter carried it with one hand.


Another weekend, we visited an Irish pub in Rouen, with live music. However, if you are thinking we heard cool French music, you are wrong.


But this the main singer did have an impressive accent (or lack-of-an-accent?) as she shared songs like "Hotel California" and "Hit the Road, Jack":




Also we went to Paris for the day....sigh.  Just saying those words makes me very, very happy.
More on this trip later.


Just to whet your appetite...




P.S. For my Twin:
 It's pure snow! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?
It has raisins in it. You like raisins.  
Gee, I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.
Two DOLLARS! I want my two dollars.


P.P.S. If you've never seen Better Off Dead, add it to your movie list or your Netflix queue or your Target shopping basket.  It's set in the 80's and it's fabulously ridiculous!

  2. She was French. Her trouble pronouncing words like "the" gave her away, but other than that, she was quite impressive.

  5. This post was all for you and Anne, Twin!

    The four of us drank the Girafe using our superior teamwork skills, of course. It was hard cider. They grow so many apples here...so cider is the regional drink. But if you order cider, it will be alcoholic. I think they might have "cloudy apple juice" which is equivalent to our cider.
