Day 13: Soiree 1 of 2

For lunch, we went to a party at Chez Mami (Mami Marcelle's house), hosted by  TaTa Rosline, Tonton Pierre, and Mami.  We had an aperitif of l'original triple sec with sparkling wine (need to try this at home), jambon sec et melon, veal with potatoes, haricot vert, et salad; chèvre, Comte, et Brie; rhubarb crumble et glacé vanille.  Rosline's eldest daughter Marie came with her husband Stefan, and children, Clement (14), Hugo (11), & Mano (7).  Louis and Marcelle had an absolute ball playing with their second cousins!  And we had a ball watching the kids have so much fun! 

Here is a picture that Mami showed me of Papi Andre when he was young.  She thinks Louis looks like him in the eyebrows.  I think I see the resemblance.  Do you see it? 


Another photo of Papi Andre when he was young (back row). 

Here are some photos from the party at lunchtime.


There was a cute story they shared about Hugo: When he went back to school in the fall, they had to tell the class what they did on summer break. Everyone had gone on exotic vacations, but he hadn't. So he made up a story that he went to visit his cousins in the United States.  His teacher verified the story with Clement's teacher, who asked Clement about their USA trip, and found out it wasn't true.  Poor Hugo had to tell his whole class that the story was made up!
