Counting the days.

Friday was the day I was supposed to return to France, but it looks like the trip will be delayed. I have had the ticket since December, but starting a new business has a way of changing plans. Since returning from France 11 months ago, I have remained intrigued and enchanted by Paris - and France in general. I read a new book every few weeks, typically non-fiction about the journey of an American to France. In most cases, the journey turns into permanent residence. And I still listen to my playlist of French songs as I go to sleep at night. So, I won't be returning to France this month...or probably this summer. But I have decided to create my own French journey - through cooking, eating, language lessons, literature, as I await the day I actually make the return trip. I will share recipes, stories, and progress in improving my French for those who want to join me on my "journey". To my French friends hanging out on the sidewalk at Shakespeare sharing political opinions and stories and to Shelley and Andre and the rest of my French dining out group, vous voir bientôt.
