First flight... Marie and Scholastie's wedding!

January 3, 2014, took Margaux on her first flit out of Portugal. She endured the delights of Ryanair with stellar tenacity, and behaved perfectly on both the take-off and landing of both flights. What a champion!

 The seating space left a little to be desired...


The wedding was an understated reception in the city hall, and was followed by a fun and informal dinner with typical food from the north of France... including the option of a chicken and maroilles cheese. Think smelly socks that have been wet for a few days and you'll get an idea of the cheese. Thankfully there were other choices.

The initial idea was to have everyone do a flashmob style dance (choreographed by Sixtene and sent as a video by email to everyone so they could learn it prior to the event) during the meal, but the layout of the restaurant prohibited it. As a result, we all ended up on the dance floor entertaining a very bemused couple.

It was a very quick jaunt and we were back in Cascais before we knew it.
