On the Riviera
I just finished reading Julia Child’s autobiography My Life In France. It is a love story, an ode to France and a tale of someone finding their passion later in life (she was 37 when she first started cooking French food!). In this age of precocious talent (American Idol finalists at age 17, people writing best selling novels at age 23 or starting hedge funds that make millions by 25 etc etc) I think it is easy to forget that you can be successful at any age, and make a change in your life at any time.
And, of course, if you love France, the book is a love poem to France, Paris, French culture, so it’s doubly delicious. In one section of the book, they go to the French Riviera, and I couldn’t resist posting this hotel there, the Miramar Beach Hotel.

I’ve been telling myself for years that I must be a late bloomer.
