Beware of Houston Crosswalks!

Sarah had to travel to Houston to get her 'official' Visa from the much beloved French Consulate. She's had to go there so many times, they know her by name now when she walks in (no, I'm not kidding). The plan was drop in, get the visa, and head home to Paris. Apparently crossing when the signal says "walk" in a crosswalk in Houston is not so safe. Sarah got pegged by a car while crossing in front of the French Consulate. Suzy flew back, and we spent some time recovering in Austin. Sorry we didn't get to see everyone, but we didn't want to push our luck.

Sarah was well enough to fly back, so we're home in Paris now. Today we were able to walk a bit along the river, and had pasteries (which have wonderful healing properties). Suzy is 'finding religion' again, as November has another French religious holiday. Whoohoo!
