Orleans - Day 4
The day started early by collecting a present in the recepton that i had asked them to wrap for me last evening. Just a baseball cap with the hotel logo from the gift shop, as a present for one of my collegues who had birthday today.
After breakfast we went to the office and helped out the users with their new logons and showed them the way around the file locations on the new server, how the new mailsystem works and other similar stuff.
We let the manager know about the bírthday of our collegue and in the afternoon he had arranged for Champange and petitfours for all the emploies as well as a small present to celibrate him.
After that we just hung around, solving small tasks, flirting eith the girls and asking if there were ANYTHING that we could help with, but no they were happy, and even tried to invent tasks that we could do, just to please us...
Tonight we had a wonderfull meal in the restaurant (the one with the stupid waiter from yesterday) - I had tatare of salmon for a starter - highly recommendable. cown of lamb on a pancake of some sort and a selection of cheeses as dessert. off cause a couple of the locally produced red wine to accompany.
Compared to the experience we have had in Denmark, Poland and Spain this is strangely surreal and I dont particurlarly want to be pessimistic, but I cant help but feel that it is calm before the storm at the next french site.
Hopefully I am wrong and we are just getting more experienced.
Tomorow we will work for a few hours, then spend the afternoon shopping and sightseeing in Orleans, and in the evening the boss will take us to a seafood restaurant for fruits de mere.

¿Usted está comiendo demasiado? ¿Francia no proporciona solamente banquete o hambre, y nada mientras tanto? Me preocupo que sus hábitos alimentarios son ruinas que van debido a todo este recorrido extranjero. ¡Debo enviarle algunas frutas y verdura, pero no tengo ninguna dirección de entrega!
wv: giumses, pancakes over which the fruit of the ocean is often served?
Dont worry dear, i eat plenty of fruit and fiber, and i don't think I have put on to much weight. Even if I appreciate the thought, eating fruit or vegetables that were sent to here from Indiana would probably be a health risk as well, if sent by ordinary post.
wv: ephagype <- where do they come up with these!?
btw, yesterays lamb crowns were served on a pancake!
