I think I have finally begun to understand the French. Not everything about them, of course, but the big things. I tell myself that we have finally reached an uneasy peace. They realize that I break their stereotypes when they talk to me and I realize that they aren't so different.
Now come the little things like "bonjour" in the hallway or small smiles in passing. Now I can see the similarities in our dress - although whether this is due to the fact that I am absorbing their tastes and beginning to reflect them or it's just my own changing, I don't know.
Still, it is a wonder.
