Vignt deux

We we're suppose to wake up early today and leave the house at ten but of course that didn't happen and we woke up at 1030

We got dressed and left the house

And drove an couple hours to Pepes house in Quevy 

Which is a sort of suburb of Lille 

I watched oitnb on the way there and got a major headache 

When we got there all of Damien's family was there and we had to kiss EVERYBODY hello 

We went in and sat down and had some lady fingers and champagne 

And then went to the garden

Pepe has a giant unpicked cherry tree in his backyard

So we all went out there and picked a couple of buckets

After we cleaned them we went out to eat at this restaurant a few minutes away

Our food took forever to get but was definitely worth the wait 

I got a Bavette which is a steak with a side of pasta 

The portions were huge and it was all so delicious 

We all finished eating and the younger people went outside to watch the parade that was happening after Awhile we went back in because it was so hot and everybody was ready to go

Once pepe went outside he decided that he wanted to stay and watch the rest of the play which was probably another 2 hours 

There is no compromising with that man 

We got I've cream and the carnival was finally over

We drove back to the house and pepe wouldn't get out of the car because he wanted to go to a bar 

But we told him it was closed and just went inside and had champagne 

Alise and I went back outside to pick more cherries and then eventually everyone was helping 

The better cherries were at the top so eventually we were climbing this giant tree 

We sat outside for a couple hours and then ordered a ton of fries from a place on the corner 

Fries in France are 5x greasier than any fries I've ever had 

So dinner was pretty much fries and cherries 

After we helped clean up we went hope 

It was close to midnight when we finally got home 

So we all showered and went to bed
