...just to mention,
how full of savor France is.
driving an '09 6spd diesel audi a3 convertible around bordeaux to the bassin d'arcachon, one day somewhere near the ocean in a sweet clean settled roomy restaurant surrounded by a blur of fast spoken french, i got to drink a few glasses of a super red wine and sit still to pause and reflect on a perfect plate of St. Jacque scallops. and watch cars drive by.
heaven.
