Not in France but wish I was
I was supposed to be in the South of France this week. Namely, Sant Tropez. Alas, circumstances and responsibilities led me to cancel the trip. C’est la vie, indeed. Luckily I still have the internet and glorious imagery to transport me, somewhat. As you can imagine, my [...]
