There was too much to eat and to drink. We played some nice board/card games and of course some family Wii games. My arms are still sore from […]

First impressions of Paris!

The train , called RER A, is sad compared to the train, TRAM, in Grenoble. Lots of workers with sad faces. In Grenoble, tons of young students with lots of positive energy. The work place is enormous and is at the top of a neat building, 20 people or so in a huge open space. […]
