clermont-ferrand

clermont-ferrand is fabulous. its so green and lush. i may have said this already. don't remember.
we moved chels and remy into their new apartment on monday. its lovely and french. i have a bed! i am thrilled about this. also, there is hot water and water pressure. life is good. currently chelsea is reading, in french, instructions on how to plant certain herbs, to remy. they are intensely discussing this. i don't understand the lingo. they have a gorgeous garden space in the back where they will plant these herbs and other things.
my hosts are wonderful and inviting to me. i helped decorate yesterday, hung up photos using metal hangers, string and such. i loved the project. pictures to come.
for now, here are some photos of us around town, in parks, in rain showers, in the apartment, loving...
i cannot believe chels and i have been friends for six years, we can't believe it. time flies and things sure do change. i have some amazing friends though and for that i am grateful.
