The day began early for a change , at least I’ll presume it was early – I haven’t been able to see the sun yet because of cloud cover, and the light is the same all day long. That little fact may seem insignificant, but it is surprising just how much even a city boy like myself depends on the sun! I am continually finding myself on the correct street, but walking in the wrong direction!!! I bought this marvelous little book that all the Parisians carry, but I still haven’t figured out the intricacies of when to turn the map upside down, etc . And I can’t figure it out be cause I can’t see the sun!!! […]
When Gerald and Jacques are together, almost all they talk about is what they had for lunch!! I must admit that it is already beginning to drive me crazy, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it after awhile. I would estimate that one‐fourth of the time spent in conversation in France is occupied by some discussion related to food!!!
