viva La France

Arrived in France what feels like a decade ago, but truly was only yesterday--after traveling for 12 hours or so at least. No, it was more. And being up for 40 some odd hours.

But we arrived.

It turns out that Lacoste, France (my new home for the next 60 days) is one of the most beautiful places I've ever set my brown eyes on. It is almost indescribable. That's what I keep saying. I have a hard time verbally expressing what the mountains in the distance look like that surround the valleys full of fields of crops, cherry trees preparing to blossom, rows of vineyards, a medieval town constructed of stone/marble/cement/NATURAL materials completely--built on a mountain, next to a quarry where they CARVED out all these stones to BUILD this architectural gem in the first place.

Our group is enjoying a strong comaraderie due to the fact that we are surrounded by other human beings that we cannot communicate with other than meager "bonjours" "mercis" and the occasional "comment ca va?" We have banded together in the name of Art and loving every minute of it.

Pictures soon to follow once I charge my battery and figure out how to download them.

I have a special commentary & image on how French men dress, wear shoes and stand.

Bonsoir!!!
