A dinner at L'auberge du bon fermier

We had a lovely evening on Wednesday night, Emilie gave me the bottle of Scotch you see pictured. Similarly to how we had our photos put on the "cuvée des mariés" Champagne that was served at our wedding, this one has a personalised label as well. I'm still waiting for the title deed for the distillery though!

I got Emilie the two-player version of Settlers of Catan, a game I'd been hearing great things about for a long time, but until recently I only knew about the 3-5 player version—but it turns out that there is also a two-player version of the game that's just as popular. We haven't played it yet.

For dinner we went to the Auberge du bon fermier, an amazing restaurant/hotel in Valenciennes that is over 400 years old. It's full of mediæval tapestries and suits of armour, and they roast a pig on a spit right there in the restaurant. It was a delicious four-course meal, and we had a wonderful evening. The photo is a picture of the restaurant from when mom visited with Emilie's grandparents last summer.
