It was so sad today. Emmy dropped us off at Stephan's house. We had a lovely breakfast before we left though. Patricia was so sweet but we never learned the name of her soft spoken husband. That is truly embarrassing, not knowing the name of your host. He was truly a gentleman.
Melinda and Stephan's house was very lively and loud. He has a 9 year old son named Maxime and a 4 year old girl named Elise. Both are adorable and it has been quite a treat to spend time with young French speakers. Maxime can even say a couple words in French....(Elise claimed that she could speak English...her word was "wow") Raymond Dallons came to have lunch with us. Stephan is his son. His wife, Arlette, passed away a couple days ago so it was good for him to be around family. Raymond's nephews are Jean Luc Dallons and Marc Dallons, both of whom I am friends with on facebook. Jean Luc and Marc are brothers....so confusing but very interesting if you have a map to look at. We went into town with Stephan to check out the city of Liege. It was quiet because all the stores in Europe are closed on Sundays....can you imagine if New York did this?
It was fun to play games with Maxime and Elise. I read her some French stories and I actually understood them. I am sad that just as I am starting to remember my French and get good, I am leaving. Tomorrow, we are going to a glass blowing factory to see where my family got its start. Tomorrow night, we leave for Norway....
