Boys from the Gap

This weekend two of our friends who are assistants in Gap came to visit us. We visited them back in October and we wanted to return the favor. It was an awesome weekend fulls of laughs and good memories. Our friend Jimmy was the first to arrive on Thursday evening. We picked him up from the train station and soon discovered the he was donning the classic Euro-trend of jean-on-jean. That night we took him out to Place Pie where he stole the show. The next afternoon, our British friend Alex arrived. We greeted him at the train station with a giant group hug. That night we all made dinner together then played a few games before going out. We attempted "True American" from the tv show, New Girl which turned out to be a bit more complicated than we had expected. After trying to interpret the rules we opted for a card game instead. Saturday we decided it was time to show the boys around town. We started the day off at our favorite boulangerie then headed towards the Palais de Papes. We took them to the garden on the top of the hill which has a great view of the Rhone. Afterwards, we walked across the bridge to Villeneuve. We showed them around the quaint town and took them to the fortress and the bell tower. The Rugby 6 Nations started yesterday and since we were with two Brits, we had to watch the England-Scotland rugby match at a local pub. Since Avignon is such a small city, we ended up running into our new French friend who came and watched the match with us. By the time the game ended, we were all crazy tired and decided to call it a night. We came back to Chez HYDE, Paul and made breakfast for dinner, then played some more games. We ended the night by watching a slide show of our pictures from the weekend (mainly laughing at all of the ridiculous faces the Jimmy makes) and recounting the highlights of our time together.
