Up. Date.

Since the last time:

1. The USA junior soccer team came to Moulins to play "un match amicale" against the French team. The entire city went to watch, and the Stars & Stripes held up their own to finish with a 3-3 tie.

2. My friend P went back to the USA, which was strange and surreal, watching the back end of the train disappear, like a gust of wind sweeping up a leaf, thinking how different an experience is for everyone involved... for both the observers, and the actors, everything we see is different. She had an enormous suitcase plus two duffel bags and a backpack, defying physics, forging onward to her future.
