So here is a silly list I have compiled of the things I miss about the USA when I am in France: (in no particular order)
Free parking almost everywhere I need to go
Microwave popcorn
Chocolate chips
Roads that don't make me carsick when we drive
My car
My king sized bed
Iced coffee (no, making it at home is NOT the same)
Privacy
My family and friends
Mint frozen yogurt from Publics
A bath tub
Screens on the windows
Air conditioning
A bathroom and a kitchen I can actually fit in without bruising some part of my body
Speaking the language easily (but still not well)
A dishwasher
A garbage disposal
A dishwasher
A garbage disposal
And on the flip side, this is my missing things about France list that I notice most when I'm stateside:
The views from everywhere you look
The pastry, bread and food available
The sea outside my window
Afternoon naps
The wine
The cheese (its ridiculous how much is so readily available)
The frozen yogurt (only in the summer, down in Menton)
Anna (since she is here in France now)
Walking by the olive tree garden
The Roman ruin next door
Walking along the sea with Dennis and Anna
Sunday drives into the mountains and eating out
Bernard cooking for us on Saturdays
The sounds of the sirens here (yes, I like them)
Waking up in the middle of the night to the moon shinning in our bedroom window
The quiet pace of our life here
The constant state of adventure (even going grocery shopping can be an adventure)
