It's been almost seven years now since I started this blog.
It started out as a way to share my adventures and mishaps as an American, newly arrived in the south of France. Learning French, visiting the surroundings, getting married, looking for a job, etc.
But I'm not that person anymore. I don't have any frustrating yet amusing stories to share about La Poste. I (pretty much) know French, am married (going on seven years now), work, and don't get out much.
I don't really know what to say. I guess I'll have to try to find the new American in Provence.

Still, you must have insights about which the rest of us can only speculate.
Ditto. I totally hear you!
That was me deleting. I think you have an interesting career, but I don't know how much of that you can talk about. Plus you live and work in town in places that lots of us would love hearing about. But I know what you mean.
Well whenever you feel like you have something to say or there is something that you would like to share, we'll be here :)
So here's a suggestion. There's more news coverage about drug violence in Marseille. Have you noticed any changes in the tenor of life there?

Megan, the shelves are full of books authored by expats who write about their experiences at work and life in France. I enjoy what you do write and would love to hear more about Marseille, a town that doesn't get written about much as well as your work. You still have lots to say.
