Ma journée a Turin

Bonjour!

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to go to Torino with Béa and 38 others. Béa is an art historian and the organization she works for usually plan trips like this. I helped translate some documents from English to French, cause in Italy things are either in Italian or English. So she offers for me to come with her.
We left at 6:30 and came back at 10:00pm.
As soon as we get in Italy it was snowing and traffic was bad. The bus driver told Béa we might need to go back to Grenoble. Let me just say it was snowing but it wasn’t that bad. Nothing compare to heavy snow fall in MN.


I spent that day learning about art and visiting some great museums. It was a long day but I had fun.



Bonne Journée à tous.

La reine de Sabah ( party time)

Salut,
Well, i don't even know where to start. This was a new year party for me. Every year all the friends get together to celebrate, and its always a theme party. This year was "le desert" and as you can see i was the queen for the night.

My role was to ask all the frogs in the room a question and if they get it right they will become mon price charmant if not... you get the point.
It was a great night, everone got into the theme of the party; it was so fun

Celeste was my black panthere.
C' etait une soireée magnifique.
Bonne Année 2009 a Tous
