Our last night in Paris was pretty exciting. France was playing New Zealand for the World Cup playoffs and the entire city was celebrating their victory. They weren't expected to win and when they did everyone went crazy.
We left the city and drove through beautiful country side full of vineyards and pastures. Beaune was a completely different place. A much quieter place with cobblestone streets and wineries just waiting to be visited!
All of the food was delicious but I especially loved all the cheese.
Couvent Des Cordeliers winery. This place was beautiful. Beaune is famous for its wines and this was a big highlight for Chris. He was actually in France 5 years ago and couldn't wait to come back a visit the vineyards.
Yes, these are the tongs that Angelsea and I used to eat our escargots (snails) and cuisses de grenouilles (frog legs). The snails were really good. They were covered in garlic butter and once the meat was gone you could pour the sauce from the shell on your plate and dip your bread in it. The frog legs were really hard to eat because they were full of small bones and didn't have much flavor. I had to try it!

I love the picture of you and Chris...you should frame that one! I love the cobblestone streets too and the wine picture. It's so cool how they store it. It looks like something you'd see in a movie.
