    If you have not RSVP'd please do so, as the RSVP's are filling in very quickly from my other groups. Great weather is expected that day, so it should be a fun cruise.

    OK, so we made a sacrifice. We sacrificed some French speaking for some lovely views off the river at un bon marché 1 : I do believe that Yara and Rory did do their best to keep the music a bit lower, and Yara proved to be a gracious host in spending time speaking French with my cousin Carol and I (two newcomers to the meetup). Overall, une nuit très agréable.

    For my first meetup it was very good, but I thought there were more French or francophone people. Anyway, I could speak to some people and the cruise was nice by night. Thanks.
