It's written by an English expat in Paris. <BR/><BR/>http://www.petiteanglaise.com/<BR/><BR/>It's very witty and insightful. She was fired about two years ago for blogging and went to trial and then wrote a book about it! I sort of "knew" her b/c a journalist friend of mine in Paris was the first one to "uncover" her story. Anyway, since you love all things French, I thought you might enjoy her blog. <I> Bon weekend! </I>Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729819462354019534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-69987936982395771832008-09-12T09:42:00.000-05:002008-09-12T09:42:00.000-05:00Now I'm hungey for some Greek cuisine.

The last time I had any "real" Greek food was at Victoria, B.C. and it was delicious, sitting there looking out over their newly modernized harbor. Wow. And their famous drink that tastes like licorice smells will knock your socks off in a second or two. Just drink some "Ouzo" and try to stand up.
