It was a very nice weekend indeed. Katherine and her friend Ali got in Friday night on the TGV after a week in Paris studying the architecture of the city. It was so good to have them here. We all craved some good Mexican food and since we had just found a good Mexican restaurant, we were off to eat. The owners of the restaurant had lived in Corpus Christi at one time, so the food is about the closest to the real deal we have found in France. And for all you Green Day fans... they discovered this place before we did. There was an autographed photo of the band on the wall in the restaurant.

On Saturday we had our friend and neighbor over for lunch. She is such a neat lady! Her English is super and her enthusiasm for everything is pretty amazing. Her dream is to retire on an island just off the coast of Great Britain. And she loves bagpipe music too! Katherine told Marie-Christiene of her summer in Scotland and M-C was very familiar with the University of Stirling, the castle there, and the area. We even played the band CD for her.

We got up early on Sunday morning, went to church, to the art market, and rushed home so the girls could catch the train back to Paris. They were then going to take an afternoon flight back to Rome. Since we received no frantic calls, I assume they made it back.
