So, I was walking home from my favorite café a couple of days ago and this is what I saw.
First, a horse and buggy. Being driven (does one drive a horse and buggy?) down a small street a couple of blocks from mine by a very salt of the earth looking 70ish year old man. Not far from where I saw the nun coming out of the bar.
Two minutes later, a beautifully restored 68 VW Bettle, driven by a nun of indeterminate age. Like most nuns.
Two minutes later and now just a block from my house, a big black Hummer. Driven by a young, show-offy Italian (his look screamed Italy and his license plates confirmed it).
He bumped into 2 side view mirrors on his way down the street.
I'm not sure what any of that means, but I'm certain it's significant.

Hi Nicole! C'est avec grand plaisir qu'en rentrant du maroc je retourne sur ton blog (tes post me font toujours sourire)! j'en profite pour te dire qu'il faut qu'on se voie (toujours bordel dans ma vie, mais bordel plus rangé et je vis bien mon bordel, bref) mais surtout je t'ai rapporté un petit cadeau du maroc! je t'envoie un "texte" dans le week end.. je t'embrasse!
What an interesting little town you live in!
As ever, so well observed. Nicole is "the eye that sees "it" "

Sounds like a scene out of a 1960s comedy...
Or maybe a little like this...

oooh, you've piqued my interest! Whatever is the look that "screams Italy"?!
Anne-Laure - On ira à La Maison cette semaine?
Beth - Sometimes.
Kinga - I'm very envious. On se parle cette semaine?
Le tigre - Exactly that.
Jadie - Here's my sweeping generalization and it's not politically correct at all. Wavy dark hair, very swank clothes, sex in his eyes and a game plan in his walk.
Hi I saw that guy with the horse and cart in Laval on the 26th...I was taking a coffee with my brother and I assumed he was a local character. Have you seen him since I wonder.
