There haven't actually been many Finns visiting lately, so I guess it was about time :-) Carita, a friend of my mum's, had decided to come and spend her 60th birthday in sunny southern France, along with her brother (who actually decided to surprise her with his presence!) as well as her daughter Mikaela, Jean and their 2 little ones.
On Sunday, we went for dinner with Micke and Jean. It all started impressively, as we spent about half an hour trying to find a restaurant in Antibes my parents recommended (I guess we didn’t exactly impress our friends with our local knowledge…), only to find that the restaurant was closed… We did eventually find a nice restaurant called Le Jardin, where we had a nice meal. Afterwards we fulfilled a dream of mine and visited the Absinth bar. Very nice bar indeed, with great old adverts, and serving all flavours of absinth you could wish for (OK, it is a bit touristy). What a pity I was driving…
On Monday, it was time to celebrate Carita’s big day. It turned out to be a typical Swedish-Finnish affair, with drinking songs, schnapps and merriment. And this time I wasn’t driving ;-).
