First French Party

My Friend GI, together with her husband M, took me to a party on Saturday night. It was my first really French party. I do not count those on Tour de France. Those parties were too international (the entertainment) and too English (the language).

The evening started very romantic with heavy snowfall. We drove to Montreal downtown. Return drive was much more exciting, but we will get to it later. 

The party was charitable dinner to support young rugby players. It is true the French know how to cook. The dish does not look like superb and delicious but it was. 

Duck, sausage, beans and vegetables. JUST DELICIOUS!!!

We bought some raffle tickets. There was just one - first prize - few hundreds Canadian dollars. Nobody from our group won, so I do not know how much exactly. Pity. I hoped to pay my French lessons from that money. Next time. I am happy I did something for talented Canadian rugby players. If the raffle would go for young Canadian hockey players, I would never support it. Guess why?

We had lots of fun on that evening - special thanks goes to F. French people are amazing. F reminded me of my colleague JLB.

Despite the fact everybody spoke only in French I was never bored.  Trying hard to catch at least some of the content. And I did! Listen is part of my study. This was very attractive ‘listening’ lesson.

Way back home. As we came out from the restaurant, the streets we just white, everywhere piles of show. I am still getting used to drive the Canadian style. More about it in one of my next blogs.

We found our home. Good night.
