mErS-lEs-bAiNs!
Filed Under Daily
Mers-les-bains is a small town near the ocean. I really enjoy my stay here because it is quiet and the weather is fantastic for September. I like walking on the beach doing nothing but contemplating the sea, the sun and the cliffs. I was on a boat trip today. If the price remains the same I would not mind coming back time to time.
I bought 3 kgs of fresh mussels and I almost finished them.. almost:

This escape is part of the cookbook on how to be happy: Live new experiences and try something new. Most people around here are quite old and they enjoy themselves everyday sitting in front of the ocean doing nothing. It would be nice to run around the beach and I will try that today.
I was lucky today, I started my run and I immediately caught up with another runner, Antoine. Antoine was more than happy to let me tag along and he showed me everything. I am glad he was happy to get a run mate because he made it much longer than his usual training and I got to discover everything around. I love cooking and enjoying life this way :):

It was a very good first impression, just like home! I was lucky that there is an excellent 4G coverage because the place does not have internet:

I tried Airbnb for the first time and I hit the jackpot: 4 days at 177 Euros near the beach. All I wanted is to get away and breath pure air: LINK to Airbnb
Of course, I invited my little cousins Alisson and Hélène on Snapchat because they are just … there :). However, I would be more than happy to share the huge room with any of my relative if they can make it there. It’s right in front of the ocean:

I will rent out my studio and move temporarily back to my parents and brother’s place. I will not stay in this infamous department of France: Seine-Saint-Denis longer. There are too many minorities struggling here.
I could easily return the 2 mini-drones (amazon) I bought to play with Tom and Lyn. They were not that great but I will try to find a better one. I guess it will be much more expensive.

I thought that after all the food I ate that I would get like 2 kgs. Thanks to my niece and nephew who have kept me constantly in motion, I’ve lost 0.5 kgs!

We had the traditional BBQ the day after the wedding. I was a bit sad to leave this whirlwind of social events, it’s like getting out of the center of the vortex where you have no control at all and end up in the void.

Caroline’s Wedding

Caroline is now married: Flickr Album
A special thanks to Diane and Jonathan for hosting my family. It was perfect and I tried hard to tease Jonathan about any imperfection that I could find. I hope that the pictures I took for them will be enough to show them how grateful I was.

fRiDay’s Buffet!
Filed Under Daily
First, I had fun eating a buffet with my uncle: 2 hours and 20 min. He had 5 plates and half and I could not eat more than 4 plates by myself. It was good.
Then, I drove Alisson to Diane’s place in the evening, we had fun singing in the car and we got lost two times due to my lack of concentration. Diane showed me her beautiful house. It has greatly changed since the last time I checked it (two years ago). Then, I and Alisson, we spent time doing the videos and making funny comments about people’s speeches until 2 am. Sometimes, we tried to figure out what they were saying.
I lost the notion of the time since I was busy doing something.
