Titi for President

The French Presidential Elections are coming closer and in Vaison the election campaign is definitively heating up. At today's market not only Vaison's mayor was out shaking hands with anyone who came his way and the Conservative Party of President Sarkozy was busily handing out leaflets, but this young man also presented himself:

The sign says: "Vote for Titi, Candidate No 1", poking fun at all those busybodies canvassing all over the market. I like a candidate with a sense of humor, don't you?

And the Award goes to....

Just back from a fabulos week viewing the ancient archeological sights around Izmir, Ephesus and Troia coming home I had a lovely surprise waiting for me:
Alida of the lovely and deliciously readable blog My Italian Kitchen had chosen to give me not only one, but two blog awards:



I feel enormously flattered Alida and cannot thank you enough!
Now part of accepting this honor is to forward these awards to five other blogs I admire, so

 THE AWARDS GO TO:






All of these are blogs I enjoy reading and I hope you will like them just as much as I do!

Just a little photo from last Sunday's market in Izmir - don't you just want to take a bite?
