(Part of the surrounding Alps)Mine and Carter's days here in Grenoble are all about rest. Rest from the travels in Spain! He is still upset and cranky! While Rj works we spend the whole day in the room. We both rest up, which feels really good.
When Rj gets back we head to Carrefour (a local grocery store) to stock up on wine and chocolates to bring home!! :) Then we met a couple of Rj's coworkers for dinner. We ate at a steak house and it was so good. I had a sirloin steak and Rj tried steak tartare (that's rare meat...um yuck) But he was actually the beginners tartare because it was a little bit cooked and it actually tasted good! Then for dessert I had the most delish ice cream smothered with chocolate and chantilly (whipped cream)! yummy!!! Man such good food again.

Today was actually a good day! Carter was in such a good mood! He is really beginning to grab things and move them around and of course they go straight for his mouth! He is also jabbering up a storm!!! So we got up and got ready to go out. I was ready to brave the streets by myself with Carter but once we got out it started to rain! AH! So we headed back to the hotel. There we waited for Rj and some football (NOT american football! hello World Cup!!) Carter loves it. It's been great because everywhere we go it's all about football and it is on just about every channel!! France is really disappointed with their national team this year and everyone in Spain is cheering theirs on! (Rj still thinks he needs to grow a mullet so he will play better! ha!)
For dinner we meet up with a couple other of Rj's coworkers. We head to a place that serves food from the French colonies from back in the day. It was good and we even tried escargot! yes that's right...snails! It actually wasn't that bad. The dipping sauce made it taste good!!!
Thursday June 22:
Time to go home!!! We get up SUPER early like 4am early. We take a taxi to Lyon airport and fly out to Frankfurt, Germany. While flying to Germany we crossed over the Alps. They were breath taking. And while we were landing we saw a huge World Cup welcome sign in the field and once again our camera was packed away! So we missed all those great photo opps! ARGH!! In Frankfurt airport there were fooseball tables with hoards of people surrounding them and each screaming for their team. World Cup fever can be found just about anywhere!
We board the plane and ready for our long flight (10hrs) home!!!
(even the planes have World Cup spirit!!)We had such a fabulous time but it's good to be home! I will sure miss all the good food, wine and chocolates!!! (good thing we brought some back with us!!! but it won't last for long!)
Until next time........(we are already planning our next trip! heehee!!)
ciao!
love, The Rays
