This is not a prize-winning photo, but is a reminder of the noise in La Rochelle. Boisterous groups would go past our apartment at all hours of the night, so we kept 2 fans running on the weekends for background noise to let us sleep! Then one day, Brad discovered three sheets of 2" pink styrofoam waiting for the garbage truck. With a few deft strokes of surgical skill with his pocketknife, he fashioned a jigsaw of pieces to completely block off the window in the bedroom. Aaah! Piece at last.
