Chez les Ch'tis 2

Well the title came from the famous comedy French movie “Bienvenue Chez les Ch’tis” (“Welcome to the Sticks”) ! A person from the North of France who does have a strange accent. Since relatives are from there, we also have the touch of Ch'tis :D !

Visiting relatives is also nice because it would mean traveling. We don't do it every year since we used to travel by car which is becoming tiring. Our parents thought why not take the train. And Hop, bright idea and time saving ! We were obliged to wake up early as 5:00 in the morning not to miss the train at 6:09 in the morning. The train station is 15 minutes away from our place. The earlier the better, no traffic only we were half asleep.

Our Mom bought coloring stuffs for us to be occupied while traveling. It's fun and a need to avoid idle moments in the train. I made colorings while my little sister was sleeping.

We visited Papy who has a personal playroom and we get to play with our big cousins.

Mayumi got to see her Marraine Caro (Godmother or Ninang)


We had the chance to visit Belgium too.

We went to visit the beach from the North Le Touquet but before visiting we went dining in a restaurant specializing in Mussels and fries ! A treat from our nice Tonton Stephane and Tata Françoise, thank you very much! We had fun :D!

But the people from the North are into sun bathing already, this make us say brrrrr!
