Hey folks... now we realize that we have been absent for the last few days but a las we have been busy dealing with various life issues like where we're going to live at the end of our stay here a the Chateau Montmartre... Fear not though, we promise not to disappoint all you anonymous lurkers who we urge to make yourself known! (we like comments people!)... We are back now and hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. We certainly tried our best to have a lovely feast here and were very thankful to be enjoying it en Paris!

We had an eventful weekend enjoying the city and making our first trip to the Canal... We wondered about for the afternoon and if everything works out we hope to be staying in a place that is not far from the Canal so we'll bring you pictures galore... After a nice afternoon out and about, Natalie had a sleepover at the house where she is nannying and I held down the fort at the Chateau and to my surprise I was treated to an impromtu fireworks display!

After a relaxing Sunday complete with a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower we headed over to Jean Michel's and proceeded to play knock knock ginger with his neighbors until we finally found Hugo and Joeffrey! They treated us to champagne and pasta alla carbonara and we played a rousing game of Euro Monopoly en Francais might I add! We had some laugh and got our butts whooped by the two savvy Frenchmen and headed home for the night.

We've started to get settled here and have become accustomed to the all the nuances that give Montmartre it's own unique identity. Nuances such as the transvestite that greets people and families on our street as they go about their day to day lives (we have affectionately named her "Gladys of the kNight". She is pure GOLD and one of the many reasons we love Montmartre!
