The French Nose

Is there really such a thing? if so - it is allegedly Pinocchio-like. It seems to have a Romanesque beginning, up between the eyes, but then it turns a bit up at the end. Then there is often a little "lip" on the nostrils to give them a slight flare a bit like a petticoat-flounce.

And if there really is a French Nose, it is probably due to smelling all those smells that are so familiar to most Americans and other Europeans, that of ham, sausage, cheese and so on - except that French version of these items all seem to have a slightly "gamey" odor to them - like they "almost" smell good, but you can't really be sure. I think my nose has also began to change a little during this trip. The nostrils are more alert than they were when I left.

And by the way, trying to write and sketch on subways requires skills that I have not developed.
