Would you believe I even miss the sound of the sea gulls and the smell of the water in the morning.<br /><br />Not much of any of these things where I live now but there are other compensations: we had galette for dessert last night (that will put five kilos on you in about five minutes). :-)<br /><br />Bonne année, Véronique.Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-83797735369565581592014-01-06T13:43:16.003-08:002014-01-06T13:43:16.003-08:00Merci beaucoup Stuart.

La réalité ne ressemble pas toujours à ce que l'on s'imagine en France, dans un sens ou dans l'autre, mais les petites villes comme Edmonds ne déçoivent jamais. Elles sont malheureusement assez rares. Le concept urbain aux USA, surtout dans la banlieue, est moins romantique, et la voiture indispensable. Bonne semaine et merci de votre visite.
