We are family

Most of the Pinoys leaving here tend to get together only on weekends and my family is no exception. Sunday is our special day. This is the time to catch up. Talk about relatives back home. The time for manicure and pedicure. For inexpensive haircut.
Here's my cousin Eloise(half Pinay,half Italian)
Sinigang. Boy bawang. Junk food galore. Red wine. What?? Red wine and sinigang? Well, we are from Cavite and eccentricity runs in our blood. What ever!! Anyway, the size of my mother's studio is not an excuse for us and squeezed like sardines we would be told of Mama and her siblings' younger days. That would be interrupted with dessert and coffee. Then there's the magic sing. Someone with stronger voice might sing, amidst the laughter and story telling she might get 100% score due to her effort to be heard. Another one would try to sing and monopolize the microphone in the process. This would only stop when we got tired and realized that we need to go home. Doggy bag.Kisses. Bye. Door closed. How was your get together this week-end?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin
