- This trip has been a gastronomical adventure for me... lots of wine (including Moroccan), duck, couscous (I liked- reminds me of a variation on stew), salmon (pretty good, but salty), a strange pork sausage (glorified hot dog if you ask me) with a SPICY French mustard, a traditional French dish consisting of Navy beans, goose, and duck cooked in the duck drippings (ehh, not bad), and I can't remember what else (wearing a bit thin mentally as we near the end of the trip, I guess)... so of course yesterday I had to sneak in a piece of pizza from an airport Pizza Hut to balance this out :) -- the only thing I've refused is fish soup
- My suitcase is holding up well, despite LOTS of miles. I bought it a while ago at Dillards for just $75. Christophe's suitcase on the other hand has 1.5 wheels... its like a cowbell, I can hear him coming from a mile away.
- I finally made it through airport security yesterday (in Norway) without a pat down... not that I changed anything... proving airport security is a joke
- I've concluded that I don't "look" American because everyone talks to me in French first, and it takes them a while to understand the blank stare I'm giving them
- And finally, the biggest takeaway from this trip is to NEVER rent from Europcar if one has a choice... worst customer service ever.

Killing time...
I'm sitting at a coffee shop this morning as we are quite early for a meeting... thought I would post a few things that haven't made it into previous posts:

You are much more adventurous with food than I would be! I guess it's good that you are willing to partake in the cultural experiences on your trips. Have you earned enough frequent flier miles to go to Hawaii or somewhere fun for free with your sweet hubby? That would definitely be a perk!
