One Fine Day



So here's the story of one fine day:

So this morning, we woke up ready to take our first test in Langue Francaise, when I received a phone call from our professor, saying she had sick kids and had to cancel class. At first I was a little annoyed that I was already up and dressed for the day, but then I realized, I had a WHOLE free day ahead of me!

First, me and the roomies did some laundry, much needed and much fun!

We came back to the house for some downtime/catch up time. I got a lot of useless things done like blogging and editing every picture possible so, Around 13:00 I ventured to the mall to print some pictures. Alas, picture machine wasn't working, so instead, I decided to hit up the park

What i have failed to mention thus far is that we have had a whopping 50 degrees here in CF, which is both unusual and amazing!

La Recette joined me there with a diet coke, and pure bliss as we layed in the sun for an hour or so!
Afterwards, we had a meeting at l'ecole, where we discussed internship possibilities (which was definitely a lift to the spirit) and then we headed for our big adventure...the mountain climb.

So noah (le Bucheron) has been telling us about this park we have to visit. He warned us it was uphill, but I didn't realize it was actually up a mountain. So we ventured (all the while I'm in kitten heel flats) up the mountain, I can't remember what it is called exactly, to this incredible park on top of the hill where you can literally see all of CF.
about half-way up the mountain today

The walk with friends was enjoyable, and the view from the top has breathtaking. I'm thankfully reminded so frequently of all the beautiful sites God put on this earth, and today was just a reminder to take advantage of those "fine days." and Oh yea...we found a slide...I'm in love!

Oh yeah...I live here!!! The church in the middle is La Catedral du CF
The end to the perfect day was Shrimp Scampi and rice, with Fromage Cantal for dessert! Parfait! Tres Bien!
