Sunday, April 12, 2009 – Easter: Today we did nothing. It was only John and I at home so we invited some friends over to play games. I would have lain out but it rained again.
We had Kelby, Lance, Shawna, and Melissa over. I taught everyone how to play golf (the card game). Then, John decided that he wanted to play poker even though no one else really wanted to – the girls didn’t even know how to – plus we didn’t have any poker chips.
Well he devised a plan to play with Scrabble pieces and one piece of real money. He wanted to play for a pot of real Euros but we decided that was not what we wanted to do but we would still play. I got my computer and started DJing. After struggling through the game that John wanted to play, he lost. Lance won and I was second. We decided to not go out because it was still raining and we didn’t think that any places would be open because it was Easter Sunday.
Monday, April 13, 2009: Today there was no school because the French like to celebrate Easter Monday. Even though most of the country is Catholic, hardly anyone practices the faith because they are still mad about the government ties to the Catholic Church that caused the French Revolution. It turns out too that most businesses actually were open on Easter Sunday out of spite.
Today was really nice and sunny so I read Marius by Marcel Pagnol and lay out on the terrace. Later, Shawna and Lance came over for some time in the afternoon. John and I ate and I did some more homework and that was about it of my long weekend.
I wish the excursion could have been on another weekend so that we could have taken a trip on this three-day weekend. But hey what can you do… as the French say: <
