Wine by the Glass Chalk Board and Dry Sausage, J'Go Paris, September 2012

Of the almost 2 weeks I spent in France only a little more than 1 day was in Paris, early September.

The dry sausages hanging in the background add a rustic touch.

I have many more photos to share some intended to illustrate stories I gathered during my stay in and around Toulouse.

Working life has been a bit of a marathon since my return to the USA and i still have to fill in the blanks on many memories of places and foods.
