Chauny is cold! However, the last few days have been filled with billowy clouds and blue blue skies and a few crunchy leaves and some sweet moss down by the canal. I miss Minneapolis October. The apples here are terrible! And expensive!
I had a nice solitary walk yesterday and took some pretty photos. It was Sunday so I didn't have much to do except check out the parts of Chauny I hadn't yet seen. I saw a few good spots to return to later (when I don't have people suspiciously watching me photograph buzzed mannequin heads). I went out with the intention of taking photos and then everything I saw became photograph-able. I saw patterns everywhere! And the light!

Tomorrow I'm catching a train at 5:31 am to Paris, then on to Clermont-Ferrand. Norman and I are going to hang out in the mountains for a few days. The area is called Central Massif. Don't worry- we're not going to sleep on a cliff or anything.
My soul music for the day:

Hey Elizabeth! I'm so excited to find someone from Minneapolis and someone who hates nickels! What's your take on 5-cent euro coins? I'm not a fan.
It would be rad to meet up sometime. Chauny looks like a sweet city. A lot cooler than "Chauncy" which was what I originally googled.
I love your music! I sounds like my iPod. :) (Wait ... uh ... that's a little frightening for you I bet. LOL)
Superchouette! Funny that you say it is cold in Chauny--today it's supposed to be 95 in Austin!
Also, I forgot to tell you, but a fellow U of M graduate is starting her teaching career in France also! I think you remember her...Nina Peterson-Perlman? She is in Digoin.
Here is her blog:
