Before April left Paris she spent her final week partying.
Cake  | Champagne  | Beer  | Chinese

April's last day at the library

Cake

Before we open the library we always have 'elevenses'. 

However on this special occasion there was cake.

Yummy!

Minutes later ....

   ...and that was the last time we saw the cake. 

After we close the library April continues the celebrations. 

Champagne

This time there's champagne

Word quickly spreads around the office and more colleagues join us

The party moves across the Esplanade to Le Recrutement, 

Beer

where there's more toasts 

                                             and fond farewells

The big night out in China Town.

Chinese

The guests arrive and fill up the table.

Joel Sarah, April, Neil           

me, John, Zarine, John

Trang and Tai complete the circle

Then the serious business of drinking begins

Neil, the beer drinking photographer

followed by food

a drum solo, 

lively conversation

and music

"Eh, are you dancin'?"

"Are you askin'?"

"yeh, we're dancin!"

 Meanwhile back at the table champagne arrives

Cheers and bon voyage!
