Paris Buildings And Cars

While wandering around Les Halles, we took more pics.  The ones I like best are of the old CV2's (They're the Beetle-like cars.).

Working Away

More leaves are making an appearance as I crawl down this piece.

Dinner With A Game

 We actually had dinner at Little Texas both nights we were in Iasi.  It was all about relaxing.  The table was big enough to play a game without disturbing our meal, too.  We played the cards only edition of Railways of the World a few times that weekend.  We didn't test the Mexican thing, but went for more regular menu items.  When not trying to be something they're not, they're much more likely to get the food right!

On The Seine

 Pictures taken while walking alone the Seine.  We spent over three weeks in France and spent only one evening in Paris downtown.

Magazine Finds

I found these magazines at a media store in Krakow's main mall.  They're beautiful and in a few different languages.  I hope to start crocheting some of the designs soon.

Yuled

Yule is done, but not without some trouble.  I -hate- when kits don't come with enough thread, and this one didn't.  It was even the cheap one - DMC - that was low.  Not cool.  I had to wander around Frankfurt looking for the color, and it was hard to find.  Very disappointed with Moonflower Designs for that.  On the other hand, it's done and I can make it into a gift now.

Texas In Romania? Not Quite

 Nearly two years after moving to Chisinau, we finally went to Romania.  Granted, it wasn't far into Romania - only Iasi, but it was Romania.  While there, we stayed at Little Texas.  They really -do- try.  There's American country music blaring; the rooms look like something from the 1950's in a ranch house; and the menu is .... well, you can see.   Romanians do tend to try some of the Moldovan "if it looks like it, it must taste like it" mentality.  The nachos were okay.  The Texas toast?  Wrong cheese, not enough garlic,  but tasted okay.  The soup was in a bread bowl, something I've not seen in Europe at all before.  It was a nice, chunky mushroom soup.  Lemonade was definitely made differently, but tasted like lemons.  My mother would not be impressed, though.
