Settling in...


Since we arrived, we've mostly been visiting while eating, visiting while walking, visiting while cooking. I think you get the picture, but the point is, we've been having a great time.
Yesterday, Meg made phenomenal omelettes for us in the morning and then the six of us went out for a walk around town. They took us to a park where Meg and Jack got into leaf wars while the rest of us enjoyed chausson aux pommes - apple slippers or apple turnovers.


The Martin's went off for a birthday party and Tim and I went out to explore around town.
We found this sign which seems very clear on the one hand, yet completely baffling.

It was a hard day for pictures - the light was so stunning. I could either expose for the sky, or I could expose for the buildings.

At any rate as we wandered around we found a convenience store open where we picked up some charcuterie and chevre cheese and red wine. We intended to wait until the Martins were back before breaking into it. But when they came in we had the cutting board out and full wine glasses. This is living!
Here are more pictures from the walk around town. If you'd like to see more, you can see them here.

So far, looking at your pictures all I can think is that *I* wanna visit Meg and Alex on my next vacation.

Looks like your trip is off to a fantastic start! Hogan is having a good time here - we all went to Putah Creek on Saturday for a fall hike, and she walked with us to the gym on Sunday. Joshua's favorite pastime is giving treats to the dogs. :-) Keep the photos coming!

Meredith - Meg says there's a room here for you guys anytime! I'd highly recommend it!

Nikki - It sounds like Hogan's living large - thanks for taking such good care of her! I hope that the class went well last night. I completely forgot about the assignment, but I probably shouldn't be suprised.
