TrIp To FrAnCe - 4

    *Taking shots while aboard train… photo courtesy of novem..

    *Late arrival in the train station of Nancy… reception at M. J.C. Etoile Hall w/ choir Croqu’ Notes (the group assisted us for the whole event.)

    *Flags from participating countries - Germany, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria,Finland, Lituania, Spain, Mongolia, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia & Sweden

    *Our Mama Josephine preparing our first dinner. We (together w/ my buddy -Jonar) stayed at their house in Chavigny (outside Nancy) for 6 days. She’s an Italian married to a French man (Papa Joseph), she speaks a little bit of Spanish so we really never had a hard time on communication unlike our other choirmates whom their foster parents speak French language only hehehe… :) But sometimes, if she really don’t know how to explain… she showed us some photos of the things, for us to understand.

    *Wheww… 1st she gave us biscuits and wine. My buddy told me, “I’m really hungry, I need real food.” After an hour or more, we are full already… no place for the food. Even if there’s no rice (can live w/o it), food is great. Later on we learned that she’s a cook in a restaurant before, a couturier now. Wine is prohibited that time but still I drink… not much… hmmm a bottle only :)

    *A view from living room… a foggy afternoon…

    *Country side… I really love the place…

    Oh, wow, home cooked French food…that is real food. I was in Paris in ‘94 and most French speak English. Is Nancy close to Spain?

    BTW, good photos.

    Belgium - the country that borders France to the north; Belgium borders the English Channel.
    Germany - the large country that borders France to the northeast.
    Italy - the country that borders France to the southeast; it borders the Mediterranean Sea.
    Luxembourg - the small country that borders France to the north; it is southeast of Belgium.
    Monaco - the tiny country that is near the border of France and Italy, on the Mediterranean Sea.
    Spain - the country that borders France to the southwest.
    Switzerland - a country that borders France to the east; it is south of Germany and north of Italy.

    Traveling Europe is quite an exhilarating experience, I know. I’m glad you did. You sure enjoyed the experience too much…
    I don’t drink wine in the past 15 years as a personal conviction. But now my girlfriend told me it’s okay if it’s only for socialization. Hope to meet some of my blog friends one of these days and have a few shots of French wine :D :D :D

    Off topic:
    1. I browsed your Romblon photos in your gallery and enjoyed viewing all of those…
    2. I tried to explore your archive to see/read more of your blog entries/photos this morning but there’s much time for me. I promise to be a regular visitor here in your website so I could explore more. I know there are lots of things to enjoy here.
