As a motivational spur, I have taken up this space in hopes that it can be filled with souvenirs of my time abroad. The French definition of "souvenir" is different than the American English. A souvenir is a memory, a recollection, a lasting impression. It is not a snow globe or Eiffel tower keychain.
I have been living in the southwest of France for five months now and will be here another five months if all goes according to plan. The inability to be productive in the first half of my stay is one of the factors I am starting this, and outing myself on the interweb adds incentive.
I plan to put pictures, French experiences, travels, quotes, and anything else I can wrangle from the endless rows of pines that make up the 40th department of France, Les Landes. I'm at the center of it, in a town called Mont-de-Marsan. That is where I will start my journey.
