Back from Stuttgart

We’re back in Lausanne this afternoon after the trip to Lyons, Marseilles, Lyons (bis), and Stuttgart where I wish (not really) I’d picked up a new car. (Do you know who makes cars there?) Haven’t had time to get to your blogs but will catch up and write appropriate comments later.

The so-called riots in France didn’t mess up our time. Someone told me 90 cars a night are burned on average anyway (not verified by this writer), so what’s the problem with another couple thousand? We heard on the news that our lights had gone out in Lyons because of the mess, but we never saw anything (!), and didn’t lose any sleep over it.

We had one of those weird-first-time experiences when Son 1 in Marseilles invited us over for dinner at his apartment. He nervously set the table (a couple of times) and worried about the meal with his roommate. The chicken curry was excellent as was the salad. Hot fudge sundaes finished it off (we are a bit worried about his sugar intake, but hey, we paid for those straight teeth). He’s doing so well, and we are hooking up again with him in just two weeks.

Enjoy Armistice day!
