Sunday

Work and life are becoming more routine. But a nice routine. Dan is going to work for a couple weeks at one of the companies partnered with CAE for one of our projects. It's about 40 minutes from Paris so we are going to meet up on the weekend and do a trial run on touristing in Paris.

He is getting a CAE car so he's packing the GPS, it's about a 4 hour drive from our little Stolberg. I'll meet him by train next Friday. It's supposed to be a bit tricky though because the train station is supposed to be big and crazy and cars cannot get very close and neither of us has cell phones or know anything about Paris, yet.

For me, I'm starting on a new project tomorrow. It's a project that is just getting started so there is much of the design and preparation for meetings going on this coming month.

I am about 200 pages in the last Harry Potter novel. It's good, I'm reading it slow just because there is no one speaking about it in English around here to ruin it for me. She is a good author, all the hype aside. This last one reminds me of a final episode of a TV series though, with cameos and references to past books and characters, but so far I think she's done well. We'll see how it ends.

It's a rainy Sunday here, all day it's been raining all day. It's okay though, Dan and I are working on some work things we don't have time to do during the week, and I'm taking a little break from that to make this post. The weather this month is better than June, but it's definitely not the summers I think of... in Montreal summer is usually perfect, and in Florida, it's ridiculous hot, it rains, then it's hot again. Perhaps not ideal but familiar. Here it feels like Florida in November with more rain. Everything is very green though, when it is sunny.

We booked our tickets for Greece. No idea where we are staying yet, but we have a general plan in mind. Greece is supposed to be crazy with tourists in August.. we'll see.

Internet Again

-English-

Finally, we have internet again after over a month of waiting. Our dsl connection is good, so I don't feel the need to re-hash this ordeal. Suffice it to say that living in Germany takes more patience than living in North America. More posts to come soon.

Finalment, nous avons l'Internet maintenant, après plus d'un mois d'attente. Le connection est bonne, donc nous ne nous plaignon pas. Disons que vivre en Allegmagne prend plus de patience que vivre en Amérique du Nord... Plus de nouvelle à bientôt.
