Guests and Entertaining
We have had our first guests and now have even entertained in our apartment for the first time. Friends of Janet's from her old office were in Paris and came over Wednesday evening to join us and A&M for an aperitif. We served flutes of kir royale, just to be oh so French. All were effusive in their praise of our apartment, which was very gratifying to the host and hostess after the last month. The six of us then went out for dinner at one of our nicer neighbourhood places, and had a lively party.
Yesterday was the day the Nouveau Beaujolais officially arrives, and all of the bars and restaurants acknowledged the occasion with signs and specials. I met A&M after my French class for a bottle of the '05 with lunch.
After a last day that took us up Montmartre for the sunset and to Oberkampf for a modest pub crawl, they departed this morning. They were perfect guests, and even left behind some of the Paris books they brought with them, for the next occupants of our guest room.
