A provincial place where the air is fresh, and the climate much colder. A community more peaceful, clean and less hectic than Paris. Many say that there is nothing much to do. I don't mind it at all. I actually enjoy it. I love the fact that it is calm, quiet and mellow over here. Even the people (I feel) are much nicer and more attentive. Despite being a small event and quite far from the city, it is well worth coming to this place. To play in European soil once again is always a great experience. 
The tournament week has begun. It is a Thursday and my Angelo is teeing off at 2:20pm. It may sound kind of late if you're used to Asia, but the sun sets really late over here. My guess is because it is summer? At 8pm the sun is still shining bright and it gets dark around 10:30pm. Every time I look out my hotel window, the cold summer nights are short, and I see longer days.. So as I write, it is almost 6pm and I am sitting by the terrace of the hotel, sipping my cup of tea and waiting for my beloved to finish on the 9th hole (he started on the back 9 first). Luckily it is a beautiful day today. The weather is just great albeit the weather forecast for today which was suppose to be windy and cold. Three days ago it was quite chilly when we arrived. Hopefully this is a good sign for us. As always, every event of my Angelo I pray for good days. It is Friday and second round of the tournament. Just looking at the scores, my Angelo won't seem to make it. As always, I'm the one that feels sad and awful for him. But to him its just another week. So now we move on to the next tournament. I, with a heavy heart (which I will get over soon enough) and my love, still remains happy even though he's missed the cut. That's what I love about him. Always persevering, optimistic and finding the good in everything. Don't ever lose those traits my beloved.
Thankfully, our hotel room is complimentary for the week. Now my hubby's weekend is free to just relax with me. On Sunday is also our 3rd year wedding anniversary (June 20). We leave for Chantilly on that day and get a head start on practice. We plan on celebrating our blissful union after.
Thank you anyway St. Omer for the lovely experience. Without losing any confidence, my husband has learned a lot, and again has discovered new and better things with his game. Let's bring this new found feeling to the next tournament, shall we?
Back to Paris on Sunday! Bye for now!
