I just got off Skype with my friend Steve who lives in Paris. He has invited me to come to Paris for a visit and join him for a weekend party in Auch, France. Pierre Phillipe owns a farm there and each Summer he hosts a weekend for about 80 folks and this year is is set for May 26-28th.
Saturday is the party day with long wooden tables set up outside and each guest brings a bottle of good wine and they eat Cour de Canard (duck hearts) and lots of wonderful French food together, this lasts well into the night followed by a bullfight day on Sunday. Auch has many Spanish influences, including the art of the bullfight in the Roman arena (Auch was a Roman city back in ancient times).
I think I am going to add in a trip to Madrid to see Isabel and Arnaud and to Switzerland to visit Pascale. I think this will be a wonderful way to end my time off and get ready to get back to working life.
Time to go check on airfare and see if a certain someone might like to join me for a little Summer vacation.

I am so openly envious of your ability to be freespirited Mel. Enjoy! I'll be living vicariously through your posts. :)
