Un An en Dordogne: Les Chiffres

One year ago today, Matt and I arrived in France and began the process of settling in to our new home. To mark our first full year out here, this entry is a retrospective on what took place for us from 01 November 2009 > 01 November 2010, presented in a list of statistics, followed by a look at the overall weather we had by month. Yes, I have too much time on my hands.
