We have spent our last Saturday morning shopping at the open air farmers' market in Strasbourg. It has been one of my favorite activities while living in France. I love the fresh food, colorful flowers, and eccentric characters that populate the market. It is always a feast, not only for the stomach, but for the eye as well. I will miss starting off the weekend picking up vegetables, cheese, and the occasional bouquet of tulips at the Place du Rohan.
My husband, daughter, and I are moving back to the United States in less than a week. I haven't blogged about it before this because I didn't know what to say. My feelings have ranged from bouncing around because I was so excited to crying in the next minute because I will miss my life in Strasbourg. I know that the move will be good for us but I am always apprehensive when facing change.
I am planning to continue this blog. I have hundreds of photos of Alsace and other European sights that I would like to share. Also, I am sure I will have some thoughts about the transition from living in France back to daily life in the United States. One of my top priorities after moving back will be to find some farmers' markets in Southwestern Pennsylvania!

| The French love rhubarb. Almost all of the stands offered the beautiful silvery red and green stalks. |

We will all be so happy to have you home. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be closer, but I can really understand the sentiment. I'm glad you'll continue the blog, and I can't wait to see what other pictures you'll post from France and home!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to meeting your sweet little girl when you come home. I hope you'll come for a visit!
