i have returned

Well, I guess the petit pause wasn't so petit after all. It's been a very busy past 4 weeks since I last posted. The last 2 weeks of September were vacation. Then no sooner was I back in the office for a few days, but it was off to NY for a friend's wedding. My 6 days there passed in a blur, between seeing friends, my sister, and workind 2 days from the NY office. The weirdest thing about being back in NY? It wasn't weird at all! It was like I had never left.

However, all my traveling (and one of my days in between vacation and NY I had to go to our Brussells office) was really started to wear me out and I was glad to get back home to Paris. Between dealing with a cold, getting up at 4:45 some days to watch live the end of Mets playoff games on the internet, along with my normal busy schedule, I was just always too tired to sit and blog. But i'm over the cold, the Mets are, very sadly, not in the World Series, i'm finally caught up with laundry, and i spent the last 3 hours cleaning up clutter and paperwork and I can finally see the top of my hallway table!

I plan on doing soon a longish post about my France biking trip – it was FANTASTIC – but for now you'll just have to be content with these photos. The one on the bottom is a town that we stopped at in the middle of a nice long hill descent, the one on top is Beynac, we stayed there after the first day of biking. We were bikng along, went around a curve, then that was our view. It was incredible. Thankfully our hotel was near the bottom of the hill, not near the chateau on top, so we didn't have to bike up! Though we were to do plenty of hills that big and bigger during the week.
