Friends

I bought a yummy chocolate concoction at the Maxims at Charles DeGaulle Airport before I left France. I could have just crammed it in my overstuffed carry-on and hopped on the plane--but just to remind myself how much I enjoyed the company of writer Jamie Cat Callan during our month together as Auvillar Fellows, I asked the guy who sold me the chocolate to take this photo.

Jamie is a super-enthusiastic traveler & a tad bit more extroverted than I am. She pulled out her camera often and chatted with everyone we met. So here I am with Mr. Cardboard having one last French encounter inspired by Jamie's joyful fervor.
