Roaming under the Rhône
October 10, 2011On Sunday, my friend Tom, his son Arthur, Theo and I walked underground from Oullins to Gerland. The event was sponsored by the city of Lyon to increase awareness of the new Line B Metro stop that will run between the two points. Before beginning to lay the tracks, the city opened the dig for the weekend for anyone wanting to do the kilometer long adventure 40 meters under the Rhône River.
The burrow was surreal and you felt as if you were traveling back in time or trying to escape the Death Star. We weren’t the only ones wanting to explore. According to the paper, more than 35,000 people trampled through the tunnel.

Au Revoir
September 26, 2011Paulette Ser, Anne-Laure’s 93-year-old grandmother, passed away at the end of the week. She was a petite woman with a big heart that I fondly referred to as “ma troisème mamie”. Courageous (or stubborn) as she was, illness eventually triumphed.
Nothing captures a moment like a photograph and this one holds true. Though worn & weathered, she still looked at the world with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face.
Rest in peace, “Mamie Figeac”. Tu me manqueras.

RUH ROH, RHAGGY!
September 19, 2011Theo had his belated birthday party on Saturday. Scooby Doo was the theme and the 10 kids enjoyed solving mysteries, eating Scooby Snacks and playing games. Theo loved his presents and the cake was a hit. The party reached a tipping point when the Mummy Game ran amok (see the video below) and the festivities were moved outside. Fortunately, the only thing cracked was our neighbors’ sanity.

Pear Flair
September 19, 2011Five-month-old Ella started solid food last week. Her first menu consisted of pureed pears, and after a little trial and error, she found that she loved the sweetness of the fruit. She moved to root vegetables the next day and has yet to stop eating. The beet goes on…
