Name Days

Today was Ir's name day. Her saint was from Iran and was tortured by five rulers because she refused to give up her faith. I guess here in Europe you get a name day as well as a birthday, so we had cakes and pastries for lunch delicious! D was mad because the week before break was her name day and her parents forgot, well it was her second name day so I guess they didn't really forget because they though two name days was a little much. The girls had chocolate eclairs, I had foret noire which is a typical Alsatian dessert that is made of chocolate cherries and cream it was awesome and E and S shared a faust cake which is just rich chocolate.
The month of May has a lot of holidays, so I hear, this weekend I am going with the family to Luxembourg to visit E's sister who lives there. Then in another week or so we have another holiday. Then the last weekend of May is another holiday and E and S suggested we go to London to visit Alex but since it will be his first days there we won't because he will be busy getting adjusted to his schedule and internship.
