We had another Dutch delegation visiting Fontainebleau shortly after my uncle’s trip. My sister Jolanda and her boyfriend Patrick arrived closely followed by 4 dear friends Sidney, MarLoes, Govert and Marcella. We spent the afternoon eating crepes and visiting the shops of Fontainebleau. For the evening we decided to take advantage of the fact that Paris is only an hour away, so we went to Alcazar. Omar and I got to know this place through our housemate Li Ran who is an expert on trendy places. Alcazar is a club restaurant, where after 10pm the upper gallery transforms in a lounge-bar with live music. We had a nice round table, a waiter who scraped the breadcrumbs off the table, and very good food. And then there was the dessert…
[a moment of silence so the writer can enjoy the memory of applecrumble with vanilla ice cream and chocolat mousse...]
The next day we showed everybody around Insead and had lunch before they left back Holland. It is great to share weekends with friends from back home. A few weeks later we also had lunch with Jeroen, Marieke & Elin who came to France to visit us and Mickey Mouse. Initially we planned to join them for a day in EuroDisney, but sadly Omar’s grandmother died the week before, so we went back home to be with our families.
