Right.  was out with a sweet friend Lin, at a lovely wine bar.  only three glasses (plus a few sips of tasting).... what a light weight, no?

Super evening, talking, catching up.... reminiscing about the lovely weekend in Montpellier and so looking forward to Toulouse next week.  Funny, never thought I'd be a Francophile, but then je suis arrive et instantement une 'fan'.... (that is probably all not real French, no matter).  I just loved the people, the way they thought about things, their courtesy (greet and kiss everyone in a group when you arrive), the food (aperitif, entree, course,vin, cafe), the history, the atmosphere... why has so much architecture and art and history in France survived the war?  Did they see that playing the game, eg, accepting the situation, however atrocious, served a longer term goal of perserving art, culture, buildings, history? 

Just a tipsy question....
