NYE

We had new years eve at our new expat friends' place in St. Pancrasse. It was a wonderful meal, and it turns out that one of their friends works at the same institute as us. We managed not to talk to much shop, however. Chloe made her Valrhona chocolate caramel walnut tart, which was a big hit. The kids were running around acting a little crazy, but were pretty well behaved, all things considered. At the end of the evening we all blew into chemical breathalyzers which took some figuring out even dead sober and went home. Hank and I talked a lot about cycling of course, and I was suitably lambasted for not having ridden up the alpe d'huez yet.

anyway, Happy New Years!
