It's sunday night and I thought I'd share some of my lazy weekend with you. Nothing too exciting, but definitely relaxing. Friday night was spent playing a trivia game with the family and friends...it was like a toned-down version of Trivial Pursuit, but in French. Fun! Saturday I spent trying to fix my computer internet connection, and finally Thierry was able to help that night to get it working again - all it took was to turn off my computer and re-start it. Brilliant. Saturday during the day I got Camille to take me out and we went bike-riding to a lake near Montpitol, stopping on the way to see her old elementary school and eat fresh figs right off of the tree. Fresh fruit is amazing, and I'd never had figs before. Then we walked to the lake, where there were several people kite-surfing. Sunday was also laid-back, did some homework and class prep in the morning, helped make a "tarte aux pommes," like an apple pie (by the way Dad, the Jarlauds were impressed when I told them about your apple-pie making skills), then watched a Woody Allen film in the theatre - "Vicky Christina Barcelona," in VO (Version Originale - so it was in English with French subtitles...first time I'd heard the actors actual voices, not dubbed over French voices, which are very entertaining, because they're usually higher than the actor's voice). And now it's off to bed before school tomorrow. Enjoy the pics from this weekend!

Picture-perfect weekend.
