The Garden Party at Helene's house the day after the wedding was fantastic. True to form, there was an enormous amount of food. It was really nice to see some of Helene's friends who I had met the first time I had come to France. Unfortunately, Helene and Maxim had to stay at the fort, cleaning up, and missed most of their own afterparty. Maxim's uncle Micha is quite the character. He has a stereotypical "Mad Russian" sort of look, is wildly hilarious and "original." At the party, he was wearing some sort of African-styled T-shirt, and had an arabic looking wrap that he put on his head and Maxim called him Bin Laden. He speaks French, and he and I got along marvelously. Very interested in music, he is. I spent most of the afternoon sitting by the pool talking to Vikienti. I tell you, life in Europe is extremely difficult.
