So here I am… in France… “Why did you choose France?” people ask. The honest answer is “I’ve absolutely no idea”… But of course I don’t say as much. I mention the good weather, the wine, the tranquility, quiet roads, beautiful landscape…all of which is true. It’s not, though, why I chose France. That isn’t even the real question. The question is: “What did you run away from?”
We thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups.
