Let me begin by saying, Go Badgers! Uncle Bob, you certainly called it. A mixed day of sports yesterday. Of course, the Aggies looked pathetic again. Auburn barely pulled out a win, avenging the Aggies against Arkansas, thanks to their QB getting a concussion early on. The Rangers were able to hold on (I was able to watch the first 7 innings before it just got too late). Unfortunately the Giants won. And, to make the Aggies loss worse, those people from Austin actually won in Lincoln. A truly mixed bag.
Slept in a little this morning because I could. I eventually got going and went to Mass at the local church, St. Pierre du Gros Caillou. It was interesting because they had a little ceremony at the beginning, I think with someone studying to come in to the Church, but I am not 100% certain since I could not understand a word they said.
After Mass I walked back to my apartment, and I had my "Paris" moment. I passed a family with a small boy (maybe 5 or 6) who was singing Frere Jacques in the cutest little voice. I could not help but smile and think it was a perfect end to my stay.
I ended up spending most the day in because I realized as I walked to and from church that my foot was telling me I would have to take it easy today. I made a productive day, however. Aside from packing and doing a last load of laundry, I was able to sort through my photos so I hopefully will not forget what they are later. It took a while, but it was worth it. I also took a walk down to find the Taxi station for my ride to the train station tomorrow, bought a last baguette so I can have breakfast tomorrow and lunch on the train, and another ham (and mushroom) pizza for dinner. Now I have settled in for the evening to watch the Texans (and Packers) before a somewhat early night.
My next post should be from Germany!
