I bought a pound of curing salt #1. I have about 3# of pork belly. 

I guess I'm making bacon this weekend :72:

Weird scene ... Walking along the local market and being passed by a squad of soliders spaced out in tax gear with MP4s.  No one pays any notice.  Police we're about as well.

Been at a Vball tournament in Ft. Wayne this weekend.  Some awesome basketball memorialbilia at this complex.  Including Oden's size 20s, some great jerseys and artifacts in here, old shoes HS jeresys of Big Dog, Kemp.  I like the IU warmups from last 70s and the Larry Bird baseball pictures the best.

Misting rain all day, got pretty wet walking, found great place for lunch.  Clearing a bit now and we're tired.

Like most things in life, it has pluses and randomness.

i do like that a lunch that is say 12 euros is exactly that, no tax, no tip ...

and and the food can be excellent.  Burger King has several outlets here.

we had a great lunch today, I had moules et frites pot a fer.

Oh, and winter is not great here weather wise, even in Marseille.  But, no tourists either, good trade for me.

I like Marseille in general.  himmler had a large tract dynamited in 1944 for spite.  He was one of the nastier Nazis.

Orlean was bombed out by us.  Paris was saved by Von Choltitz.

Yep. That's a trade I like.

Not that we ever have "bad" weather here in SoCal, but I basically avoid all the beach cities in the summer, and prefer them in the winter. When it's a high of 55 degrees and all the natives are huddling around their fireplaces under blankets, I enjoy the ample parking and the low traffic in the beach cities.

Tomorrow is forecast as windy, not rainy.  Our last day in effect, though we have another on the train to CDG and a night at the Hilton there, which has a nice executive lounge.

That's why our next trip to Italy will be in January. 

Do people sing La Marseillaise in Marseilles?

Not that I have heard.  The French are generally not patriotic outwardly.

Good seafood here, I see seiche at the market, again.  Dorade is quite good, shrimp is not.

Not windy as yet, wife still asleep.

Great seafood in Marseilles for sure.  The first bouillabaisse I ever had and it pretty much ruined it for me anywhere else.
