Weekend

We had a great weekend. We went to a market and picked up some great stuff. I've seen these peaches before but I hadn't tried them. They go by several different names in English; donut peaches, UFO peaches or Saturn Peaches. In French they are simply called pêches plates or flat peaches. They have a great flavour but I don't find them as juicy as a regular peach. Half the fun of a good peach is wiping the juice up when you bite into one.

We also had our friends Ryan and Natalie over for supper on Sunday night. We had a lot of fun and made plans for a Canadian Thanksgiving at their place in October. Really looking forward to that.

We are slightly sad though because we missed the wedding of our good friends Anna & Eric this weekend in Calgary. Definitely one of the downsides of our adventure. We will see them soon though. They are spending three weeks in Italy for their honeymoon and we are meeting them in Rome for a few days. Really looking forward to that as well.
