- The milk and eggs here are not refrigerated. The milk comes in bottles that sit on shelves.
- Frozen duck confit wasn't bad. Just really salty.
- The provencal market (our neighbourhood one in Villeneuve des Avignon) was huge! This is what we expect out of a French market. Fruits so fresh there is still sap on the stems. You can also pick up clothes, shoes, pottery, and mops!
- The nickname for our Avignon house is Donut. It is like a square donut with a courtyard in the middle. Chloe runs a dozen laps in the house every day.
- Isaac stood without assistance for 30 seconds today. Then he realized what he was doing and cried.
- Chloe now has a partial British accent thanks to her Welsh cousin. Water is "wat Er", and questions have a distinctive British twist at the end.
- My french still sucks. Now in provence they seem to understand me even less.
- There are no traffic lights anywhere. Traffic circles are placed at every intersection.
- E.Leclerc by our house is like a huge Walmart. It's so huge it is called "Hypermarche".
- Candy from Haribo museum is really really good. There is a difference!
