Tonight I went to a political meeting with Lizette. In the bathroom before everything started, I met the speaker Eva Joly, a Norwegian-born French Magistrate who will most likely run for the presidency in 2012. The meeting concerned the European Ecological Green Party, made up mainly by liberals, socialists, and communists. (Remember that to be called a Socialist or Communist in France is not necessarily derrogatory.) The reunion lasted around an hour and a half. Afterwords, Lizette and I mingled amongst the other ecologists while drinking organic apple and orange juice. I now have an invitation to go visit the European Parliament in Strasbourg whenever I would like! If I go with Lizette and Sabine, we will probably depart early June.
From Arras, Saed, Lizette, and I returned to Vermelles and enjoyed piping-hot homemade onion soup with the Pecqueurs as the adults discussed my future marrying prospects.
