Arnaud, Mike and Chris shown up with their respective families, and kids ran around with Thia for the most part of the evening, discovering hidden places in our new home, playing games and “watching the universe”

Excused were Philippe stuck on the east coast and James recovering from his Friday night (he might show up tonight, who knows!)…

MIA: Sylvain and family… shame!

Mike respected the inherited Russian tradition and brought salt and bread and we managed to try various types of beers and wines from around the world, as if we were in Europe (actually, even more diverse… Shocking!!!)

Conclusion of the evening:

Wherever you have a party in the world, it’ll always end up in the kitchen (in our case, we didn’t even leave the bloody kitchen).
