The One Month Mark

As of July 10th we have been in France for one month. One month of getting used to the new culture and food and language. We'll get back to less scattered posts but for today, some observations and purely subjective opinions:

I can't tell if it's the mindset or if food really does taste better here.

Black olives marinated in garlic and basil taste good!

Truffles are yummy.

There is such a thing as too much charcuterie and wine.

Yes, it really does seem to be one of the sunniest places on earth so far.

Farmer's markets are AWESOME!

Emmental seems to be the usual default cheese.

With regards to pizza, mozzarella >> emmental! How do the French not realize this?!

This country is waaaaay less idiot proof than North America.

It's still strange to see eggs stored outside of the refrigerated section.

Bonus: This place is gorgeous.

And that's where we're at.
