Upon arrival at Chez Sassanpour, in Ferney Voltaire France, Lauren took us up the street for a celebratory drink: a Monaco, which is a beer spiked with our new favorite liquor, Creme de Casis! Delicious and refreshing, we were excited to spend time with our friends in France. Merci beaucoup pour l'hospitalite!
Since it was so hot, we decided to take a trip into Geneve to swim in the lake. What a scene! Lots of children playing in the water, in the sand, in the dirt. Julian provided us with much entertainment, which isn't hard to do when you are one of the cutest children in the world. We shared an ice cream cone and then headed into Old Town Geneve for dinner. Lauren and Maz treated us to a delicious meal at Au Carnivore, where Jeremy dined on his very first Steak Tartare. I had salmon tartare. Both were delicious! And for the first time in my life, I dug into some bone marrow to spread on my bread. Not going to lie, I think I prefer Smart Balance fake-butter to bone marrow. (It contains Omega 3s.) But a good experience nonetheless.
Amidst our exploring in Geneve, Jeremy and I remained somewhat glued to our iPhone, tracking the latest happenings in Le Tour. Gotta be honest, it was a hard day for us. Not to mention Lance, who crashed THREE TIMES. We were sad to here him concede that the tour was over for him. Especially since there were still two full weeks of racing to go. But we were happy to see our Local Favorite, Levi Leiphimer, still going strong.
All in all, it was a very intense day for sport. We arrived home after dinner in time to watch Spain win the World Cup. We are happy that Spain was able to put a ball in the net before a shootout, and we think that the country has seen enough wins for this year. Alberto, sorry, but you are NOT taking home the yellow jersey!
Great photos! Loved seeing Julian!
ReplyDeleteTell Lauren and Moz that I said hello. And really, bone marrow? Yummy.
