It's Me, Sara Louise

{happy girl}

Do you see this smiling face?

Aidan is smiling because she managed to escape to Aix-en-Provence sans husband, children, and dog to meet up with the girls (not an easy feat let me tell you), and since it’s not often that we get to see each other without husbands, children, and dogs, we decided to celebrate with lunch in the sunshine.

H A P P I N E S S

As soon as we finished our lunch we met up with Delana for a stroll around the city. But it was only going to be a quick stroll because Ireland was playing Italy in rugby. Priorities, you know.
(p.s. please remember that I did warn you that there would be rugby talk).

And then Delana took it upon herself to guide us to the pub where they would be showing the match, but she guided us to the wrong pub. Let it be known, that Sara Louise never needs to be guided to the pub. I always know where the pub is. In every city. Anywhere.

So I got us there but we missed the Italian national anthem, which was kind of a bummer, because it’s so pretty, and all the Italian rugby players stand there singing with tears in their eyes, and call me a weirdo, but I find it touching. But then Ireland won and that’s all that really matters about that.

And then before we knew it, it was l’apéro time (isn’t that always the way) so we went back to Delana’s to sip wine, nibble on olives and meet up with Kirsty.

Of course we could have sat on Delana’s terrace pretending it was apéro all night but we had dinner reservations to get to (good thing too, because we totally would have sat on the terrace pretending it was apéro all night and olives do not a dinner make).
