It doesn't matter where we are, who we are with or how we find ourselves there..we can learn from the culture we are in at any given time. Culture, the flavor of the people.
There is so much here in France that I find myself enthralled with and contemplating. One word to describe South France: inviting.
The other night when we were down in Ales engaging in the independence day celebration I observed how present people were with one another. It didn't connect until I saw a girl on a cell phone and realized she was the first one I'd seen using one since I've arrived. not that people don't have them, but they recognize the value of the time spent with those whom they find themselves. This spoke volumes to me about what this culture values. It is something I want to take away with me. To remember to enter in to where ever I find myself, with whom ever I find myself around.
Until next time...
