November 13
Friday, a normal day before the evening...JD and I went into Paris to run some errands, buy Alex's new piano books near the Gare St. Lazare, then some errands by the Grands Magasins which were starting to decorate their windows for Christmas.  We decided to try one of the new BBQ restaurants in Paris, Floyd's Bar and Grill in the 10th arrondissement.  The BBQ was good, but of course not as good or as large of a portion as in the US!  We walked most of the way back home.

Other happenings of the day - Alex lost a tooth and Vincent fell and smashed his face into a tree at recess.

On Saturday, Alex attended a birthday party for his friend Thomas at a Lasergame venue in Courbevoie.
