During my stay in Bayeux, one day I was ever-so-cozy in my warm apartment, and I began to think of all. the ways I really loved France. In my other lives, sometimes my gift to a loved one is to write them a letter with a list of all the ways that I love them. It wasn't France's birthday, or any special occasion of sorts ... it just seemed like a good day to write a love letter. The following is part one of three letters ... I had a lot to say ...
France, ma Cherie ~ here are just some of the ways I love you, not necessarily in this order, j’espere que vous comprendez, I hope you understand. One day I will write this to you in perfect French.
