Soirée @ Bonson

It's been a long time since we've seen our dear friends Valerie & Gilles from far-away California! So we were quite happy to join them for dinner in not-quite-as-far-away Bonson, where they still have their house. Marie and Jason joined us as well - we picked them up at Train de Pignes trian station in the Var valley on the way to Bonson (Bonson is a lovely place, but a bit difficult to reach without a car - being a mountain village tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Cote d'Azur).

Great to catch up with Valerie and Gilles again (without their kids this time). They've had a rather busy summer, with a bit of trouble with their house as well as Visa problems (the server for booking an appointment at the American embassy was down - so no way to get an appointment!), but were as smiling, happy and welcoming as always. And as always, we had a brilliant time - there is always plenty to eat and drink at their place ;)

We already tentatively set up a new date for the weekend - seems that they could do with a hand with that house of theirs!
