So...yes we went back to Villars again. I was rather excited because it was such a great time the first time. This time was for the 20th Birthday of one of Mab's cousins. (I guess that particular birthday is a pretty big deal here) So it was about the same this time too, Mab had a 2 tests on Saturday morning just until noon and then after that we left for the countryside! So this time we got there a bit later. The party/celebration was at the same little hall, with a D.J and all again. Oh man did we eat too!! ...again it was pretty impressive, the amount of food that they had accumulated for this event, and that was before the insane dessert. It was a 20th birthday party so it was just family this time, there were a lot of the guy's friends too and guys he works with too. He actually works fixing tractors, well he is apprenticing, I though that was just so farm boyish, it was great!! ha ha ha..There just aren't farm boys here in Paris, it's quite sad really!Anyway well I dont know what else to say?... It was a blast!!! We stayed up real real late and danced a lot! Mab was video taping, I really do not want to see that video!... ha ha I am very sure I looked like a fool. But it was soo great!!, for the first time since being here I heard some country music...well as country as you'll get here!! It was awesome! lol ....although no one could dance with me :( ....that is probably why I looked soo ridiculous, I seemed to feel the need to dance alone. Oh dear, I think I am lacking that thing you know, that goes off in your head to say "seriously you should stop now!!" ....I wonder who's fault that is??hmmm dad?? Are you lacking that certain thing too??ha ha ha ha just jokes!!he he he..
Anyway It was a great time again, well other than the fact that I literally did NOT sleep! By the time we got back to the house that damn rooster was going off again - seriuosly if we go back there I think that that Rooster may just mysteriously go missing, It may just have a most unfortunate accident with a garden shovel... ha ha ha nah... but anyway Mab just somehow, most "unfortunately" forgot to give me the blankets his mom had told him to give for sleeping...therefore I slept with a sheet! needless to say, I slept on the ride back home.
So now for some pictures!
The starting platters...ahh!! It was really amazing too!
The pretty table settings, each of us had a specific spot with a name tag. I was 5 in from the end! ha ha ha ..... We sat at the table with the majority of young people.
Some people up and dancing, the closest 2 people are my host parents.
My host mother, Brigitte.
My host father, Jean-Pierre; and everybody dancing in the background, at the very back of the room is the D.J.
This was the guy who turned 20! In front of him is the dessert, it was absolutely amazing. The tractor says CLAAS because that is the type of tractor that they fix where he is apprenticing.
Here is him again and his buddy's that he works with.
Ha ha ha and this is the dancing... apparently. ha ha I guess they felt the need to take their shirts off for this particular song, I found this rather amusing. lol
Mab and I ... seriuosly contemplating something; not sure what?...lol
Mab doing his dutiful cleaning in our guest house, check out the class!!, nice feather sweeper thinger.
Well thats all folks, I'm tired now. So talk to ya'll later.
Peace. ..........Lauren
