The Pyrenees
... happened to be from Kingston (ON). Beyond being lovely, she suggested that we head a few blocks north to visit the indoor market. Saturday is its best day. Once we got past the flee markety stuff outside, the indoor market was quite impressive. The variety and quality of the products was top class. After a thorough tour we thought that this would be as good a spot as any to grab lunch. I snagged a couple of savoury pastries and Meg grabbed what looked like ...

Meeting baby Isidore
... ou quelquechose (avec tous ceux qui essaient de ramener des trucs illégaux d’Espagne en France, qui sait?).
We finally arrived and spent a few days with Elodie, Brian, Lila and Isidore in Pau. Elodie, born in Pau, and I met in Portland a few years ago, we worked for the same company for a while. A few months ago, like the salmons, she returned to the pond of her birth to give life to baby Isidore, her second child. As a Portlander in ...
