John came to Toulouse!
Lucky me, I have a boyfriend who is willing to travel all the way to France for his spring break! Not bad!
We had a relaxing week because
1) I had class
2) John was sick
3) Toulouse isn't exactly a Paris.
-Johnny tried Moules-Frites!
-And he came to my french class with me!
-We took a few nice long walks around Toulouse!
-Made dinner with my roommate
-Went out to a bar/pub
-Went to Pau, France for the weekend!
Pau was both of our highlights for the week! John's neighbor has a friend who owns a Chateau in Pau. Henry the 4th lived in the Chateau, but now it's a vineyard and winery! The first night we got there, Dave (the owner and friend of John's neighbor) took us on a tour of the Chateau! And, of course, we got to taste his red and white wines right out of the vats! It was awesome to be tasting the wine at least a year before it would even go into the bottles! And, was good! Argon was added to the white wine, thus making it full of gas. It tasted like sweet peach champagne!!! John and I wanted to bottle that one right then and there!
That night Dave made pizza and it was great! It's hard to find good pizza in Europe, especially in Spain!
The next day we went cross country skiing. I love skiing. I have been doing it since I was little. The mountains were beautiful and the drive was gorgeous! That night Dave had his neighbors over for dinner! The man was from England and the woman from California, but lived in the UK and France for the past 20 years. It was perfect. They spoke French and English! For dinner we had an aperitif, fois grois, salmon cakes, duck, fresh veggies, dessert, an after dinner drink and then coffee and tea! It was one of the best meals I've had in France!
The week John was here went by so fast that I don't even know everything that we did! These are just some of the highlights!
That trip to PAU sounds amazing! I am so glad you and John had fun!!
