the chaud, chocolat chaud, cafe....chaud...haha

so the title is in reference to our awesome train driver on sunday morning. As we were leaving and he told us about the offerings in the beverage car thats what happened....we all enjoyed a little laugh.

SOOOOOO fun weekend.

Friday was another dinner party chez Janelle et Francesca. As usual it was lots of fun and lots of craziness. Afterwards was a night in Oberkampf...bien sur....and a very late (or early since my roomate was leaving when i arrived) return home after getting courtney on the metro.
*Anna and I had lots of fun with our tights that night *

Saturday, after about 3 hrs of sleep, I met courtney for some American style breakfast *3pm mind you* and then we were off to ice skating!!! Every year they set up a rink at Hotel de Ville and it opened on Sat so of course we had to check it out....lots of fun even though I was exhausted and had lost my voice the night before....way to go me.


Then sunday was finally the long awaited trip to strasbourg for the Marche de Noel!
I was still super exhausted but it was amazing! As usual the trip centered around making sure we ATE everything we had been waiting for. Soooo we consumed : Vin chaud (mulled wine) see pic, pain d'epices (gingerbread) other pic, bretzels both salty and sugary, some crazy german noodle things, soup a l'onion, tarte flambee (like a thin pizza), Chocolat chaud, Jus de pomme, macaroons and reisling. Needless to say at the end of the day we were about to pop!
Oh and while waiting for our train john and I found a completely flat soccer ball which we decided to play with for a while....at which time i lost my camera and john got beaten by a girl. the end.

Last night was FINALLY minus the bear and it was rather odd. There were about 30 people total in the venue and it was super awk....i think the band was also kinda weirded out by it cause there was no encore and not a crazy long set....i didnt even get my absinthe party (and the song is ABOUT paris) whatever it was still a FABULOUS show and I even got a cute shirt with a seagull on it :)

Tonight we saw The Golden Compass....sucks to be you americans who have to wait for it to come out there! it was very good and quite pretty :)

only two more days till another exciting weekend filled with dinner parties, dancing and my lovelies!

BISOUS!
