Off to Grasse

 






As my city feverishly prepares for Mardi Gras, in less than a week, we are off on a day trip to Grasse, the perfume capital of the world.

So I hope you like perfume.

Due to some family interest sparked by an event on a Japanese dating show that took place in our city, we will be mixing our own personal scents in the city of Grasse. And though Grasse was able to be glimpsed in the distant hills from the windows of our Theoule Sur Mer apartment, it is, after four months here, the first place we are visiting not directly on the coastline.

It's old.

It grows a lot of flowers.

And, well, I don't want to bore you with too many details.




But after we go there I may do that anyway.


Or maybe it will just be a single picture.


Or perhaps the first ever blog post you can smell.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
