I know it is considered to be in poor taste to go "black face", even more so with "ball and chains", but I couldn't resist juxtaposing what real change can happen in just 150 years (hence the Obama Tshirt)... And you're allowed to be politically incorrect in France...
And here's a picture of them from last week, at the beach in Grau D'Agde.
I'll bring more "commentary" from time to time, but I just wanted to share a couple of pictures, since Uncle Ken gave me a good excuse to do so...
Cheers to you all as you gear up for the holiday season.
Love,
Jeffrey
(edit) PS - I just learned that Constance finished first from her middle school and second overall (there were 7 middle schools and 50+ runners) in a 2KM cross-country race this afternoon. Anybody who has ever seen me run (or smoke a cigarette) knows that she doesn't get that talent from me.

Great Stuff! I did'nt know they did the costume stuff in France. And that beach! Always so rough?
Ken,
Trick or treating is hardly an institution over here, only about 1 in 10 houses will have anything for the kids, although a couple of houses in town do decorate a bit, and some people do throw a "halloween party" - knowing that Nov 1st is a national holiday (all saints day), it's a good excuse to have people over for a party anyway, since nobody has to work the next day.
The beach is hardly ever that rough, but there had been quite a storm over the days prior to that picture, which is why we went down to that beach... Grau D'Agde is where the Herault river comes into the Med, and the Herault was flooding a bit, and it's always neat to see a raging river meet the raging sea, it was pretty impressive seeing the normally calm Med crashing into the normally tranquil Herault, there were some serious swells... and the beach in general was being battered by waves that had been whipped up by the winds of the previous days... Cheers to all
