Tam Erope Strikes Again

As you may remember from a previous post, Team Europe is what we and our London friends have proudly named ourselves, giving ourselves a big pat on the back for our bravery in moving overseas. Well, they were back in Paris last week, and since Jeff couldn't make it, we removed some letters from our name in his honor.Tam Erope's second meeting was filled, again, with lots of walking, drinking and eating. This time we explored the city by bike most days. Kyra's birthday was Friday, August 27th and we celebrated with an outrageously good and filling meal at a restaurant that specializes in eggs. Below is a picture of Peter's meal. The server, who I guess assumed we had a collective good sense of humor, seeing as we'd been laughing all night at our table, called these "tee-tees" as he placed them on the table. So French- you just can't escape "tee-tees" in France.On Saturday, we took a day trip out to Reims, which is in Champagne country! The weather was great, and the drive was beautiful. While Reims isn't a "bumpin'" city, it is filled with champagne houses that give great tours- and tastings. We visited the Mumm Champagne House and learned a lot while enjoying a couple glasses of the good stuff.
The rest of the weekend was complete with street markets, a trip to Montmartre, and, well, more wine and food. It was great to have everyone back together in Paris again, (sans Jeff), but our next reunion will be in London for sure.
This is a cool shot of the famous Sacre Coeur church in Nikhil's shades. Below is a photo of Priscilla (a new friend at Peter's school) and Kyra and I in front of the view from Sacre Coeur.
