Saturday adventures
Saturday means an adventure somewhere. But first, boring old chores. Even in France.
It’s a [Mostly Ex-Pat] Party!
Errands and Aïkido
First, shopping for a soccer ball, cheese, and a scanner. All in the same store. Then on to check out the nearby aïkido class.

From the street one doesn’t suspect the presence of this sunny retreat behind the house.
