je suis pompette
Saturday, June 2, 2007
Right. Was out with a sweet friend Lin, at a lovely wine bar. Only three glasses (plus a few sips of tasting)... what a light weight, no?
Super evening, talking, catching up... reminiscing about the lovely weekend in Montpellier and so looking forward to Toulouse next week. Funny, never thought I'd be a Francophile, but then je suis arrive et instantement une 'fan'... (that is probably all not real French, no matter). I just loved the people, the way they thought about things, their courtesy (greet and kiss everyone in a group when you arrive), the food (aperitif, entree, course, vin, cafe), the history, the atmosphere... Why has so much architecture and art and history in France survived the war? Did they see that playing the game, eg, accepting the situation, however atrocious, served a longer term goal of preserving art, culture, buildings, history?
Just a tipsy question...

C'est vrai - vive la France and you are right life is great in France. My wife is demi Allemande / demi Francaise therefore we do enjoy our vacation which we traditionally spend in France ou dans les départements d'outre mer. We will be en Bretagne en mois d'août so enjoy your time while you are there...
