j'aime la France


Went to Mulhouse today (say: Mull-looz) for my first lesson with David since arriving; he is there for three days, recording Brandenburg 1. I got to town early and had a chance to get some lunch; walked to the main square, bought some goat cheese with fig jam inside (incredible), some crusty bread covered in seeds (delicious), an apple (cold, crisp, tart, sweet) and a mélange of macaroons: café, chocolat, agrumes (citrus) and plain (all of them delectable). I don't want to say that France is better than Switzerland. But maybe someone else could say it, and I wouldn't disagree. I'm sorry, Switzerland. You're great at a lot of things, and I like you too.
