The Adventures of Sarah and Paul
Oct 11th 2007sarahMusic & Scotland
Today is almost over, and I can’t help but think of the coming weekend. Guess what we’re doing? Anything? Anything? Nah, I didn’t think you could guess.
We’re headed out on Saturday to see The Proclaimers. They are Paul’s number 1 favorite band, you know, being Scottish and all. 
It is going to be excellent.
Office, that is. Work has moved me again. I now work in big posh building in the city. And guess what? My window now looks out on a big green grassy area. And people play soccer and cricket there. It’s pretty sweet.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Well, for starters, you can leave it, which is exactly what we did yesterday.
I had a day off yesterday, and originally, I wasn’t sure if I would have a day off by myself, or if Paul would take the day as well. By Wednesday, I knew Paul had the day off as well, and we hemmed and hawed about what to do. Usually we have a game plan, but this time we had nothing! I went out on Thursday night to Cubana for a work leaving do, thinking that I had a full day to my leisure on Friday. When I came home though, Paul had a surprise for me. Hooray! We’re going to France for the day!
So we got up early and headed over on the ferry. We only spent the day, but the day was day was a long one. We arrived in France by 10, and we left at 10 as well, so we had plenty of time to have a little look around.
Admittedly, we didn’t do much. It rained for better part of the day, but we did have a nice lunch in Boulogne sur Mer, where we waited out the rain with a three course meal and nice espresso. We wandered around the touristy bit of town there, then headed on over to Le Touquet Paris Plage, which we hadn’t been to before. Le Touquet was really nice, and we’re happy to have discovered it.
On the way back, we stopped off at the Carrefour in Calais, did the whole British thing of stocking up on wine, meat and cheese, then hopped back on the ferry and made our way home. (I also got a madeleine pan 
) Back home late Friday evening, and we still had our entire weekend to go!
Sometimes my life here is pretty surreal. Who would have ever thought I’d end up just popping over to France for a day trip, eh? I certainly never did!
