The best laid plans

So for the past three nights we have been awoken by neighbors banging on our door around midnight.  Last night we awoke to the scared cry of our youngest; the stomach bug has reared its ugly head.  Very little sleep occurred so the plans had to change.  She and I stayed home today and rested and did laundry (it needed to be done soon anyway).

The boys ate a small lunch and headed out to visit the cemetary again and the catacombes.  At the cemetary the boys were given a lesson on Godot while visiting tombstones.  They also saw Satre's and Beauvoir.  One day I hope they remember their first existentialism experience with their father.

After their cemetary visit they went a street down to the entrance to the catacombes.  The boys came back saying it was the coolest thing.  It looked REALLY dark and narrow from the pictures I saw.  I guess that they were able to remove themselves from the fact that these were actual people at one time.

After coming home and downloading their pictures and sharing the experience with us, the oldest two ventured out to find dinner.  They came home with fresh sardine salad, octopus and tomato salad, cheese wrapped in proscuitto.  They also brought home cheeries, pear, and fresch litchi (lychee)... I can barely handle the smell after thai dinner much less when my stomach has been challenged.  We enjoyed another dinner of baguette and leftover cheeses along with their finds.  Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to venture out again as a family.
