Bye Bye Marseille. Hello Switzerland!

As of June 1st, I'm working in Lausanne, Switzerland. Which means less time for blogging, two hours in the car every day- it's temporary, I still live in France... I will explain -, no internet access at home (too scared to ask my neighbors if one of them is willing to share their passworded wifi), no time to discover the town. 

But all is well. The swiss are swell. And  I'm still taking pictures during the week ends... but not finding the time to post them. The only place I've found with wifi close to work is Starbucks. The one and only coffee house (american style) in town. But I can only drink so much of Starbucks juice per week...

So it's just going to take a little transition time for us to get situated here in Lausanne. I will tell you more about it as soon as I'm through this shortage of internet access.

Wedding in l'Etoile. Jura. Mai 09

4 week ends ago already! Time flies by...

It was Pascal – my little brother –  and Elodie’s wedding. The perfect traditional rural wedding in the village where we grew up. L’Etoile.

 

l'Etoile's Church by Sam.

The day went this way:

9.30 am: pictures in the park- The civil ceremony at 10.30am

The religious ceremony at 11.30am. Followed by a first réception  until 2pm.

The formal diner from 3pm until 7pm.  And a big party  all night long with a buffet just in case!

A great time to visit with people I hadn’t seen in the last 15 years… A week end that just went way too fast.

404 Peugeot. Paris. June 09

We ran into an old 404 Peugeot. This one is competing with the MG in Sam's dreams.

Week end in Paris. June 09

We went up to Paris for the week end two weeks ago. Rented bikes and zigzaged in the streets all day long and visited with Sam's friends. Here are a few pics.

 Notre Dame de Paris from my bike.

Shakespeare and Co. (just for Kate and her sister)

   Les quais where so many in the summer gather in the evenings,
