Bon Soir! One week in France.
We had a delightful day yesterday - after going to the farmer's market near our apartment and coming home well stocked with accoutrements of dining, we had rotisserie poulet with marvelous bread for lunch; drove out to Crolles to show Nancy where my office is located, and the view of the mountains along the way -(the drive is only about 20 kilometers.) We stopped at the airport at Le Versoud and checked out two flying clubs so I can decide how best to maintain flying currency during our stay here. We took the slow way home driving through quaint villages and stopping at a patisserie for dessert and espresso. We then drove by the International Church in Corenc where we had decided to attend this morning. Nearby we found a nursery, where Nancy found some herbs to decorate, and to cook with. (We had to return there after church this AM because she found she really needed some sage in addition to what she obtained yesterday.) Then we had fruit, cheese, bread and du vin for dinner and watched two romantic movies on BBC2 - French kiss and You've got Mail. For some reason the blogspot is very slow right now, so will the edit this and publish the pictures later.
We were very pleased with what we found at church - great warmth and mission spirit. Yesterday, they had held a training class for women in service to God, and had several women visiting from California. One of the speakers was a professor of church history from Fuller Theological Seminary, who gave a brief synopsis of his lesson today after the sermon. Nancy hooked up with a women's Bible study group.
After a lunch at our apartment, we read and napped briefly, then walked to a park where a cable car station was located, and took the tram to the bastille overlooking the town - thus some of the pictures. The views were fabulous. We stopped for coffee and crepes on the way home - MMMMMMMM! We found a gourmet coffee shop as we returned to our apartment that features Kenyan coffee that they roast on the premises. Aaahhh!
Tonight is time for blogging, journaling, and chilling.
