Back, feeling like a pilgrim

Yesterday at 11:15am Continental Flight 10 touched down in Paris... So I'm back among the snails. The trip this way was much easier! How I love nonstop flights...

Anyway, Texas was wonderfully refreshing. An absolute treat. I celebrated Val-christma-newyears-giving. Three months of holidays! My mom left the tree up, my grandparents, Uncle, Aunt and EP came to visit. We ate Christmas cookies. We exchanged gifts. The vast majority of mine consisted of transportable American food items... The contents of my leaving-Texas suitcases: 75% food, 15% short sleeved shirts and 10% books and papers. There is almost enough American contraband to open a small, imported dry goods store. Cheese Whiz is one thing I wanted to bring but decided against. Processed American cheese mousse in a canister would probably terrify the people here more than it would amuse them.
