catch up

So I had wednesday off as well, and ended up being out all day.
I first went to a meeting for a small catering job im doing for a womens things here for the jewish women in Lyon next tuesday. Then I went for hot chocolate to this small place around the corner from my work with my friend. We spent a while there, but then she wanted to see the old synaguage in Lyon, so I took her there...I gave her a mini tour, (shes a token jew like some of Jessicas friends) and seh liked the cimplicity yet elegance of the shul, so she asked me if I wanted to see the big church on the top of the hill to compare. So we took the little cable car to the top and check out the church..its like night and day. The curch is extravagant and covered with gold and so on. We then went outside to see the view of the city of lyon which is magnificant.

We then went back to her apartment to cook dinner, with me going home right after since I was tired.

Then back to work. I gave my resignation yesterday in a very well written letter. WellI wrote the original draft and since everyone knows how scatter brained I am, jessica reformatted it for me, and my roommate translated it into french for me. My chef was very surprised by the way it was written and said he wished other worte it like that. He also said he would arrange to get me a refference letter before I leave. Of course I thanked him for everything and he was also very appreciative for giving him such a long time notice in advance.

So heres the plan for the next two months after lyon.
I am going to go to Italy for the first two weeks of February to volunteer on a farm. in the center of italy. Then on February 14 I will move to another farm nearby and stay there for 3 weeks but going to go to My brother in laws parents for purim, and then go back to work for week. Depending on whether I will be working at a hotel for pesach or not I will be heading to Normandy to work about a 10 minute walk from the d-day beaches in normandy are. and I will probably be there for 2-4 weeks and then take it from there...if there are other farms I can go from there, if not I will travel as there are other places I want to see in france before coming home, including alsace the loire valley and the basque region near spain, but I can keep it for later if I stay until jessica is finished the school year. And thats about it.

I will post where exactly I will be as I get closer to the dates, as well as I will keep my cell phone if anyone needs me.

anyways im off to take a nap then head back to work. Its very quiet right now as it is for january only every year, but we seem to still be gettign many customers, but still relatively quiet. Its also snowing a bit but its not cold outside just first thing in the morning.

Have a great weekend
