What a treat Coco - thanks a bunch!
Ira, you look exactly as the Prof I imagined you to be! I must compliment your Lady Wife on her attire - very chic indeed.

I'm happy you like it, thank you all I can see you were very curious to see Ira and hdm.

I'm not on the video because I was the one who filmed of course, but you can see my back on 2 of Ira's photos at the market at the beginning of the video.


Jody, is the pizzeria "Gustoso" near Café des Ducs on rue de la Liberté, near place de la Liberation? The chef won the 3rd place to the World championship in May in Italy and is already the France championship winner. He will open another pizzeria in front of the brasserie where we had lunch with Ira (that is very close to the apartment and Magnin museum).

Hi Micheline, I hope you're enjoying the market at this time (the light version I think on Thursdays) I hope you won't get lost this time! ;-) You know you can call me home this morning if you want.
Have a good day all!

I have a big insomniac grin on my face in front of my computer at 4 AM.

And Coco, it was great seeing you as the person on the other end of the lens. Steven Spielberg has nothing on you. Love your accent.

Hi Micheline,

>Ira I'm going to the market right now and I'll try to find that tire bouchon.<

I have been looking for one for umpteen years. I have been quite happy with this one. It is all wood. I think it cost 6E.

I was very pleased with the sale, because I saw similar ones elsewhere for 7E. Great bargain.

I did go back to sleep, and I dreamed about a Fodors get-together.

Ira, I particularly like the way you take off your glasses once you learn that Coco is recording sound.

Micheline...It was at Gustoso on rue Liberte , right near to thePl de la Liberation.

Luigi the owner was Le Champion de France 2005 de la pizza. I don't know why that gave me a good laugh!!

Who knew Coco was a budding Spielberg?!

We were in many of the same places with Coco just a couple of days before Ira and hdm. (Thankfully, no video of us!) Looks like you guys had a great time. Your lunch surely looks better than ours. And those strawberries & red currants. (Miam! Miam! to quote Harriet) Ira, I love your line "where the Dijonnais are as good as their mustard."

Thanks for posting this, Coco. I've been busy with other things the past couple of days, but I promise I will finish my trip report on Burgundy today.

YAAAY...
Video of people I enjoy...
HDM, aren't you supposed to let your lips get twisty making French sounds?
Ira and Roberta! The Knight and his Lady Wife...very cool.
Thank you CoCo...I'm trying to talk my "Ira" into going to Dijon and Burgourne

Good to see Ira, Lady Wife, hdm, and her DH. I enjoy watching the videos. Thanks Coco. Got to check out those eateries mentioned when I get there in fall.
About Coco, if I remember correctly, there were photos posted by Susan at the wine testing. If you find her reports and click on her album, you will see the famous Coco in one photo.

What a cool little video! Ira has been revealed! Amazingly, he looks like I always imagined him.

It looks like you all had a good time. I love market days.

Since I enjoy Ira's posts so much, I assumed he looked more like me ... alors, no, he looks like himself. Merci, Coco, quite entertaining.

Thank you for sharing the video -- I found it very hearwarming so see the international power of the Internet, and this forum, in making connections.
