Little Sis pays a visit

I was happy to see my sister, Casey the other week when she paid me a visit and stayed at my apartment. We had a lot of fun, drinking, laughing and a whole lotta walking. She had just got back from travelling all over Greece and Italy. I tried to show her as much of Paris as I could on the limited time we had. We visited Le Marais (the Jewish Quarter), Sacre-Couer, Champs Elysees, Jardins de Luxembourg, le tour Eiffel, and all the big museums, Pompidou, Museé D'orsay, Picasso Museum, the Louvre. The list goes on and on. Here are some pics from the trip. It was really great to see her. It was like old times, fighting like brother and sister and laughing a lot.

On another note, I was lucky to be able to find an internship for the month of July for a French/American company that specializes in post production work for films. The company name is Dubbing Brothers. Should be pretty sweet. All I need to find out is how they take their coffee. I think I may have more responsibilities than that. I think there's a cappucino machine somewhere in the building. I"ll keep you updated how the job progresses.

Casey's feet hurt so much she walked home without shoes, but I insisted she wear these before entering my apartment.


Casey wasn't too fond of this painting for some reason. Or maybe she didnt like that i was taking the photo

Time to visit the South... of France

So I finally have some pictures to update the blog. For 10 days during April,I was able to stay at this breathtaking mansion in the south of France with Fafa, Pierre and like 10 other people. We visited Montpellier, Arles, Nimes, La Camargue, Avignon and a few small villages nearby. Basically we drank plenty of wine, ate a lot of great food and slept in this old 18th century mansion which felt as warm as a meat locker. I was able to squeeze in a few hours of poker with Eric while down there. I can't say no to a good game.

The trip went pretty well and I managed to hold true to my maxim 'Thou who doesnt injure himself often will forget what pain is like.' LOL. Just kidding. I managed to sprain an ankle on a run near the maison, then followed it up the next day slipping on the stone stairs and landing on my tailbone and twisting my other ankle. So that day, everyone got a laugh seeing me walk like a penguin. NO worries, I'm feeling better now. Good times

Here are some pics from the trip taken with the new Canon 20D camera. Hope you enjoy!
