I refuse to do another New Year's resolution. Alright, it's already February and in 10 months another year will be over but there are so many things that I want to accomplish and one of them is to be able to read more books.There is also my distance learning or correspondence course where I have been lagging behind.

I should have finished more materials for my course and read a dozen books. So why not? PROCRASTINATION. I don't think there's another explanation and it's really frustrating. Time is gold. I do wish that my mind can understand that.

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...
