My friend Alexandra said something very profound on the way home from school the other day. She used this haiku to illustrate her love of France.
Even in Kyoto
hearing the cuckoo's cry
I long for Kyoto.
-Matsuo Bashõ
She said that no matter how many pastries devoured, she will never be satisfied with France. Even in France, eating a dozen pastries and experiencing their culture so rich in art, food and a simplicity of life, she will always long for France. I can't agree more. It is so hard to appreciate and soak in this escapade for what it's worth. There is no price for the enrichment of the soul.
