Saint-Prex and Aubonne

After visiting Lausanne, we hopped back in Erik's car and made our way to the tiny village of Saint-Prex.  I was enchanted.  Saint-Prex looked like it was straight out of a fairytale.  It is an almost perfectly preserved medieval town, and just felt ancient.  I fell in love with Saint-Prex almost instantly!  

We only spent about an hour there, walking around, but it felt so magical.  There were ferns growing on the sides of the old buildings, statues and water basins were in the center of the intersections, and there was no way that a car was going to get through the tiny streets.  Little gardens were scattered among the homes, and flowers were everywhere.  It was so pretty.

 
 

 Après avoir visité Lausanne, nous sommes entrés la voiture d'Erik et sommes allés au petit village de Saint-Prex. J'ai été enchanté. Saint-Prex a regardé le conte de fées de likea. C'est une ville médiévale presque parfaitement conservée, et feutre ancien. Je suis tombé dans l'amour avec Saint-Prex presque instantanément ! 

Nous remainded dans Saint-Prex pour environ une heure. Nous avons faire du promenade, et la ville s'est sentie très magique. Il y avait des fougères qui grandissent sur les côtés des vieux bâtiments. Des statues et bassins d'eau étaient au centre de chaque intersection, et il n'y avait pas de façon qu'une voiture pourrait obtenir par les petites rues. Des petits jardins étaient devant beaucoup de maisons, et les fleurs étaient partout. C'était joli.


Next, we visited the very tiny village of Aubonne.  It was so pastoral!  There were very few buildings, and the roads were made of dirt.  Most of the land was taken up by farms.  Erik's family had us over for dinner, and we had a pleasant time, and excellent food.  His wife and daughter were also extremely nice.  His daughter dances, like I used to, and we talked and played games for a while.  I didn't take any photographs in their house, but I did as we walked around the village.  We took Erik's dog, Shadow, on the walk with us, and the dog led the way as we trailed through the muddy paths, giving us  a great opportunity to see the beautiful farmland.


Après, nous avons visité le très petit village d'Aubonne. C'était assez pastoral ! Il y avait très peu des bâtiments, et les routes ont été faites de terre. La plupart de la terre a été prise par les fermes. La famille d'Erik nous a eus sur pour le dîner, et nous avons eu un temps agréable, et une nourriture excellente. Sa femme et sa fille étaient aussi extrêmement agréables. Sa fille danse, comme j'utilisé à, et nous avons parlé et avons joué des jeux un peu. Je n'ai pas pris des photographies dans leur maison, mais j'ai fait comme nous avons faire du promenade dans le village. Nous avons pris le chien d'Erik, qu'il nom Shadow, avec nous quands nous avons faire du promenade.  Le chien nous avons traîné par les chemins boueux, nous avons avoir une grande moment de voir les beaux farms.

Longwood Gardens Part 2

So... remember when I told you to wait til Sunday for the rest of the Longwood Gardens photos?
Yeah..........
It's Tuesday afternoon.  Life's been really busy lately. I had a new show open on Friday, and on top of performing in it, I'm also the Dance Captain, so life has been nuts.
BUT ANYWAY.  Here are the photos!


There will actually be one more day of Longwood Gardens photographs after this one!  (Then just wait til I go back for the holiday light displays... )

I'd love to say that it will be posted tomorrow, but I might not be able to get it up.  I hope I do!  Every time I let this blog just sit for a few days it makes me sad.

In any case, I hope you enjoy it!  As always, your comments and emails are very appreciated :)

Chillin With My Gnomie

Lawn gnomes always make me smile.  When I was little, David the Gnome was one of my favourite TV shows, and ever since then, I have gotten a silly grin on my face every time I've seen one of these cute, squat little guys in someone's lawn.  So imagine my delight when I arrived at my grandparents' beach house to see that they had decorated their rocky yard and porch with some little gnomes!

The Black Knight

It's just a flesh wound...

No, not that black knight.  Though I do adore Monty Python.  This black knight is part of an iron fence around a garden right next to Madison Square Park.  Much less threatening, and, unfortunately, much less funny.  HOWEVER.  I am venturing to say... cooler.  Much cooler.

If you thought this was better than the holy grail, take a look at a more serious knight in Wallace.

Snowy Garden

This is a view of St. James Park in London.  Everyone in London gets terrified when there is this much snow.  Planes don't fly.  People stock up on food.  Having grown up in the Northeastern United States, I thought this was absolutely ridiculous.  I love a little dusting of snow.  I think it's pretty.  This photograph seems to prove my case.
