Viva La France

On Friday night JO and I headed over to the French Consulate in Boston to drop off flowers.  We wanted to show our respect and condolences to the people of France.  Over the past few days I had wished I could do more for my French family.  The flowers weren't much but it helped me feel like I was doing something to show my support.  The Consulate is only open until 5:00 so we had to leave the flowers outside.  We said a few words and walked through the park to Marliave for a french dinner.

We met a few of our friends at the restaurant and they sat us in the upstairs dining room.  Marliave is one of my favorite restaurants in the city and it had been a long time since we had last been there.  Since we were celebrating all things French we had to get the escargot.  The food is always delicious.  We also got to try the Tres Curiuex drink that we tried to make on New Year's Eve.  The ones on NYE were good but the real deal is out of this world!

Yesterday the Consulate posted a picture of the condolence book and you could see our flowers in the background.  I'm so glad they found their way inside.  I really hope that things can return to some sort of normal in France.  Of course, it will be a "new normal" but for the people of France, and frankly the world, I hope for peace.
