| So, I leave for FRANCE on the 23rd of September, i.e. wicked soon. Start preparing your extravagant care packages. | | |
| The nearly empty parking lot outside the Prince Conference Center is fading to a dark grey as night falls on a quiet Saturday. Last week at this time I was enjoying a leisurely dinner of tartiflette, a traditional French casserole dish of potato, ham, and cheese, with three friends. The restaurant was Quoi de n'oeuf, which French speakers will notice as a clever play on words. (The phrase "quoi de neuf?" (sounds like: kwa duh nuff) means "what's new?," and oeuf (uff) means egg.) The town was the alpine jewel of Annecy. Follow Annecy's narrow canals through a maze of pastel, geranium-lined half-timbered houses and you'll find a calm, turquoise lake walled in by the steep slopes of the Alps. "Picturesque" sounds a little too quaint for her. It was a nice way to start wrapping up a whirlwind tour of France. Now I have a few weeks in Grand Rapids before crossing the Atlantic once more, not as a tourist but as a temporary resident. Whew... | | |
| Oh, and I forgot to mention, "Allez les bleus!"
(i.e. France is going to give Italy a sound whooping in tomorrow's World Cup final.) | | |
