Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of Sarkozy...

I'm thrilled to be returning to France, which represents everything a country should be in my opinion. The movie Ratatouille that recently played in the USC campus theatre especially intensified my appetite for real French food and wine and especially le pain (which I could live off of). Yes, it really is that scrumptious.
Returning to Paris will be illuminating and breathtaking at the same time, and hopefully I'll be able to see the beautiful Jardins de Luxembourg and Notre Dame Cathedral once more. Maybe M. Chabra will take us to new places that will steal our hearts, like the Sacre Coeur Cathedral in Montmartre. And visiting the medieval town of Troyes shall delight me, I'm sure. Seeing how French university students operate enthralls me, and hearing and speaking French 24/7 will be heavenly.
I have a load of laundry to do and a suitcase to fill before I step aboard the plane to Atlanta then glorious Europe, and, unfortunately, I am only packing enough for a 10 day stay. Bon voyage!!!
