Now that we have been back for a week, it is a jarring re-entry experience. The weather, the topography, the people, the food, all so different.
Trying to contemplate fleeting impressions of the summer:
The dog difference - so many breeds but no pitbulls which are such an epidemic in the US.
Graffiti in England (and French) saying tourists go home, and other political messages. Not artistic, not a tagging statement.
Hitchhiking returned - lots of young people hitchhiking near tollbooths on the auto routes, college-aged, happy and trusting. not something you see much in the US these days. too dangerous.
Obama Disco - outside Lyon. The French take their Obama-love, to a new level with this spot seen from the auto route.
Overall, peace, beauty, all senses employed and enjoyed. Can't wait to return. Only 10 months but who's counting.
