yes PAULINE’S BIRTHDAY!
spent the weekend with anne-laure and guillaume and family at guillaume’s mom’s house in the beach town royan. very arcachon like with its named mansions and seasonal businesses.
i think ive met pretty much EVERYONE in both of their families… just guillaume’s dad, crazy sister, and younger brother left. his sister caroline had the cutest little baby ever clement. yes i know i was a baby hater before… but when you have this little thing that grasps your fingers so tightly and is laughing all the time, how can you resist?
i ate like a mofo way too much and way too quickly. i swear every meal was like five courses and an apero. plus there was a gummy bear jar that i couldnt help but sneak into some of the time…
we spent the night, all slightly buzzed, playing french cranium. i only knew one song that was hummed (like a virgin…) and had some words explained to me. obviously i was horrible at the spelling backwards with accent marks, but so were all of them, so it was fine 
afterward all the humdingers and charades, a karaoke bar sounded amazing. i was drunk enough to sing around six songs…
THE SETLIST

what a night…
the next day anne-laure took me to the marché and i found a panniere AND super hot chili peppers (which guillaume tried later… he hated me for it, but whatever, i warned him). also went shrimping with guillaume (he went and dragged the net in the water i just picked through his findings ). we were super unsuccessful. ten shrimp…
stopped at a little baby town on the way home with the most vibrant blues painted on ever door/windowsill. i love little french villages.
