Souvenirs

Here's the thing about trying to buy souvenirs for people, and myself, from France: There just isn't that much that is really, truly French that you can't get at home that isn't stinky cheese, hard to transport (heavy and oddly shaped) wine, bread, pastries or an assortment of other foods (dried meats, mustards). Everything else is either really expensive or you just buy it over the web and have it shipped to you. There also is the struggle of determining what French things are perfect for the people at home. The other challenging part of the purchasing decisions is that there is only so much room in the suitcases. I'm not going to take you through each of my purchase decisions because of course the people haven't received them yet, but boy, it is hard with all this globalization going on ;-)
