‘Young and Restless’ Travel Column Debuts
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 08.07.06 | 1:52 PM ET
Terry Ward debuted her promising new monthly column for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s travel section Sunday, aptly titled “Young and Restless.” The first piece focuses on the pleasures and challenges of studying French in Toulouse. Among the highlights, she recalls her early conversations with Emmanuelle, the 48-year-old woman she lived with: “[W]e found ourselves laughing at our ‘Franglish’ over steaming bowls of verbena tea. We pondered the irony of my ‘L’oreal Paris’ cream that I bought at an Orlando Wal-Mart, and her ‘Vichy New York’ cream purchased from a pharmacy in Toulouse.” Terry is a contributing editor of World Hum and has written about France for the site. Terry’s stateside now, but for how long nobody knows. She is young and restless. As she told me today, recollecting her time in France, “I wanna go back.”

Spent a year in Toulouse some time ago It was wonderful to “see” it again thru fresh eyes and to relive almost the same experiences Thank you
