i was going to say: you wrote this whole blog in french and english?! v. impressive and helpful for studying french. but now just by random wandering I see you haven't! say one of your readers is an american who loves pates de fruit and is on a road trip and wondering whether she should buy this nice box of cactus candy? i mean candy from a cactus? a sensible girl would probrably pass it up wouldn't she? really, very inconsiderate.

Most of the time, I start by writing in French and then, instead of translating, I got tired, strips down the text and only posts the photos on the English side... The whole "expat experience" is IMO a lot more interesting for people of your country of origin than for people of your host country.

Now concerning cactus candy, I am assuming you are refering to this post:
http://www.windal.net/weblog/francais/archives/000183.html (in English) or this one http://www.windal.net/weblog/archives/000186.html (in French).
If I remember correctly, I bought cactus candy at a gas station between I-40 and Grand Canyon National Park, I believe on US route 180. I also saw it at many other gas stations in Arizona and New Mexico but it is true I never found it anywhere else. I did not really search too hard though, especially after I found what it was:-) You might find it online.

Good luck with that and bon apétit if you manage to find it! :-)

I just surfed in this great place.
I took a few minutes of my spare time and surfed over your sites.
Great kompliment! It´s one of the best I found in net.
