Highlights of Winter #1

Wow, it's been a long time. We pretty much went into hibernation during the winter. I'm posting the highlights of the past three months, because aside from what's included, we did a lot of working and staying indoors.
In February Logan and Elise took us to the Jura region of France, around two hours north of Lyon, to visit Elise's family, which was fantastic. We met her mom and dad, who cooked two big meals for us, and they showed us around the area. One night we went into the town and ate at an Italian restaurant where the couple who owned it were also the cook and the wait staff. There were some great walks and some much-needed time away from Lyon.

Logan and Elise took us to a cafe where she used to play the piano in high school. It has a fantastic interior and great winter drinks, like vin chaud.
