So good even the waiters take home the food.<BR/><BR/>You comment on my blog and the links to other comments on weather. I got the idea from another City Daily Photo blogger (can't remember who). But one day, I was glancing at the logs and noticed that I was getting hit after hit from another CPD blog. I zoomed over there to see what it was all about. <BR/><BR/>Kind of sharing the wealth idea.<BR/><BR/>--steve buser<BR/><A HREF="http://neworleansdailyphoto.com" REL="nofollow"> New Orleans Daily Photo</A>Steve Buserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912655513896035138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-75491763617758874212007-08-14T02:38:00.000+02:002007-08-14T02:38:00.000+02:00Funny and very true.

Since the human condition compels us all towards love the two paths the French and Americans take may explain the differences in our waist lines.Dentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107214205610095999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-83110784779956840522007-08-14T00:30:00.000+02:002007-08-14T00:30:00.000+02:00Lovely candid shot of daily life.Lovely candid shot of daily life.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-24216447045836596272007-08-13T23:54:00.000+02:002007-08-13T23:54:00.000+02:00I hope we can erase those spam messages.....I hope we can erase those spam messages.....Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317498718218889741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-81871224329937937712007-08-13T23:46:00.000+02:002007-08-13T23:46:00.000+02:00Moi aussi!!!Moi aussi!!!isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691699331129121806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-25142068728211519752007-08-13T22:26:00.000+02:002007-08-13T22:26:00.000+02:00VERA - GO AWAY NO ONE IS INTERESTED!!!!

So the seating would be in the square.Ann (MobayDP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03107580049551982062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-42995824837559489702007-08-13T19:52:00.000+02:002007-08-13T19:52:00.000+02:00Ann, Really I need a longshot to show you. If you ...Ann, Really I need a longshot to show you. If you click on the link I gave on today's post, you see the slope up to the old town. Well the restaurant is on the left but again, out of shot but only slightly - ie just below what you see in that second photo. The tables (because it's summer) are in an enormous square - the waiters are walking in that direction. It's not at all clear - am sorry. <BR/><BR/>This is common in France, you often get restaurants one side of a road and seating the other. For instance, see my post for 4 August.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-54064156254571941432007-08-13T19:00:00.000+02:002007-08-13T19:00:00.000+02:00Ha!

Not funny I'm sure for the folks who were waiting hungrily for their food :-D <BR/><BR/>But can you tell me why they would have to carry the food outside like this? I don't see a restaurant in the other shot either. Is it that the kitchen is in one building and the restaurant seating area is in another?Ann (MobayDP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03107580049551982062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-49305666166125318732007-08-13T18:40:00.000+02:002007-08-13T18:40:00.000+02:00Very funny.

But it wasn't your food you were waiting for, was it? <BR/><BR/>About the Arkansas letter, it's making the rounds on e-mail lately and I captured it to share with the world via my blog. The photo was just one I had of laughing women and I paired it with the letter. I can't remember what the women were laughing about - but someone had cracked a joke or two, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I think I drove right by Menton. It was in another little town where I bought my herbes de provence and the red tablecloth. But when I return to Provence I will surely e-mail you in advance and arrange to take you to a cafe in your town, one you have shown on your blog perhaps?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.com
