After 6 Days in Italy, Store-Brand Lasagna is Sort of a Letdown

Hello all!  Happy (and admittedly a little surprised) that the whole group of us made it back to Bordeaux safe and sound this morning after a wonderful 10 day adventure through Italy and the Czech Republic.  We saw, ate, walked and laughed a LOT.  Once I get my act together I'll put up some photos and tell you all about it.  For now, I'm going to catch up on some television and relax in bed - we "slept" in the Lyon airport last night, and today I feel and look like a zombie.  I need a good rest, so for now I'll just say this - it's pretty cool that when you live in France, you can go away for a couple weeks and when you come back home it still feels like you're on a pretty sweet vacation.
