It's been a whole 2 weeks since I've been here

I know...I'm not very good at this blog stuff. It's the same way with journals. I start one and then maybe I write in it every few months to a year. :)

Anyway... My weekend in Chamrousse was nice. It was so cold! It's only September...how can it be 2 degrees C?! But other than the freezing cold weather it was ok. I had lunch with the mayor and about half of the city counsel. Then I helped my uncle make his bid presentation to the mayor and city counsel. Of course, by help I mean change the powerpoint slides...

My uncle was very disappointed that there was so much fog we couldn't see the valley. He really, really, REALLY wanted me to see that for some reason. He even suggested that I come back for some weekend in November to see how pretty it would look covered in snow. Ummm....no. I don't like snow and if I thought it was cold this weekend it is going to be about 20 times worse in November. But at least now I can say I've been to Chamrousse. If I go back in a few years I can point out the projects that my uncle and his compacy were involved in and say that I helped. :)

My uncle's company also found a new office today. Want to see what I am going to see every morning when I come out of the metro?



This! The new office is about 3 blocks away from the Opera Garnier (and the Galleries Lafayette and Printemps, but we won't go into that yet). It is very nice. It is actually an old apartment that is now used for an office. My uncle is very excited that it is only 70 years old, too! It's also right across from the Etas-Unis Hotel (The United States Hotel) and I told him that was a sign. :) My aunt doesn't know yet. She thought we signed with the other office but 3 hours, 3 HOURS, before my uncle was going to sign the lease on his second choice office, the first choice office came through. I feel bad for Theirry, the IT guy, because he had all of the work planned out for the other office (as we are moving Friday) and now he has to start all over again. The bad thing about this being an old apartment is that it doesn't have all of the power, network and phone plugs that the other office had. Poor Theirry...he has 1 day to put everything up and make sure it works.

As the weather is so nice and I have Friday off because it is moving day, I think I am going to go visit Versailles. That should be nice and it is a weekday so I'm hoping there won't be a lot of people around there but I won't hold my breath. Then maybe on Saturday I'll spend the day in Paris again (hopefully it won't rain this time).
