Ooo my friend lives here. 😻

In all of the years that I’ve lived in France and most specifically in Provence, I have been told that Toulon is not really worth visiting. Well, having been there recently, I am here to say that this is not true at all. I was very pleasantly surprised by the beauty and diversity of this

On this day, 10 Aug, 1793, the Louvre, a former royal palace, opened to the public as a museum with just 573 paintings. It's now the biggest museum in the world covering 15 acres and displaying 35,000 artworks. Plenty to see for the three ghosts said to roam its rooms!

My birthplace was California, but I couldn't forget Armenia, so what is one's country? Is it land of the earth, in a specific place? Rivers there? Lakes? The sky there? The way the moon comes up there? And the sun? Is one's country the trees, the vineyards, the grass, the birds, the rocks, the hills and summer and winter? Is it the animal rhythm of the living there? The huts and houses, the streets of cities, the tables and chairs, and the drinking of tea and talking? Is it the peach ripening in summer heat on the bough? Is it the dead in the earth there?

Pres.

"Sempé – with his tenderness, subtlety, irony, and delicacy – has left us. Farewell. "
