French apartment renovations, Day 528: Rain for Zari, sun & heat for us

10,636 steps

Eric and Inga had to wake up at 5 am for a long drive to Cavaillon in Provence and a full day soccer tournament. They came back 15 hours later, a bit disappointed that they only made 3rd place.

Eric's (totally unbiased!) opinion is that Inga's team should have won; in one of the games that would have made the difference, the opposing team scored a goal that was clearly offsides but the referee didn't notice it. Then just a few minutes later, Inga scored a goal that got called offsides but that likely was not; it was so close that they would have needed a video to make the vinal call.

I spent a few more hours with the Spanish midwife this morning watching breech birth videos. Then we started talking about our own births and sharing our own birth videos with each other. It turns out that she had seen Inga's birth video years ago (where I resuscitated her) and didn't realize until now that it was me! Small world...

After lunch I got Dio and Ivy out the door for some exercise. I went running 3 miles (5 km) while Dio rode his scooter and Ivy rollerbladed. It was HOT and I had to pour water on myself several times.

Here's my sister's report for the day in Paris:

"Today it RAINED like crazy. Paris Opera, Picasso Museum, walking tour of Montmarte, Sacre Coeur.

"Pain au chocolat, more chocolate, now onion soup and salmon (for Zari) for dinner. Lots of time on public transit.

"Zari has never had so much fun in her life!

"Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. But we did have a good day."
