... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

... write her address and draw a map I realized that something was terribly wrong. She drew a map of Corse (Corsca) - a little French island I the Medeterranian. We were headed to Corse, not Italy! The victim of not having an Italian map and too little internet time. Who knew? Propriano certainly sounds Italian to me&#8230;<br><br>We weighed our options: <br>1) continue on and cycle across Corse (2700m altitude ...

... Aix...oh, the Brits abroad, mon dieu! Still, best 6&#8364; I've ever spent. We've also been along to the cinema. Embarassingly, it was to see Fame but I'd like to point out how important cinema, and going to the cinema, is to the French. There are at least 3 cinemas in Aix, and there are huge film posters everywhere. 'Le Cezanne', has it's name lit up, and, unlike at home, the seats are like armchairs and there's plenty of leg room. But, like at home, it's bloody ...

Bonjour avec Aix-en-Provence Cherie<br>Since the last news we have visited the Cote D'Azur spending time at Monte Carlo and Antibes. We stayed near Antibes at a place called Biot and at night you could hear the seals at nearby Marineland - very strange. It was still quite hot and stickey with more mozzies. Monte Carlo was wall to wall money with billions of dollars in boats and cars. Antibes was similar but it had a lovely old town as well.<br>We arrived ...

... s the moral of the story, right? So I log on and start catching up on days of e-mail, surfage, hotel reservations, flight reservations, MySpace, FaceBook&#8230; ooohhh, God it&#8217;s warm in here, nice and cozy. I&#8217;m in, Trinity, so what do I do now? <br><br> <br><br>Actually it&#8217;s nice and warm all over the south of France, while Paris and environs have already entered the autumn. And so the days pass as ...

... the buildings in French. Lucy followed along interestedly. I looked for mason's marks on the blocks because I don't speak French. Ironically, the one place we went where we could not get a tour in English was the one that was the least interesting be be on a tour in without hearing the tour guide. In any other place one could entertain oneself by looking at paintings or sculptures or architectural features. Not here ...

... helped pioneer modern western art. I found it so interesting that I really didn't miss not seeing the originals. The museum also had marble sculptures. Most of them were busts of important men or Greek or Roman figures, but the two I enjoyed most were one of a shepherd who was distressed by the loss of his bees and a marble relief of a modestly dressed woman nursing a chubby baby by Charpentier (I think that's the spelling). One was funny and the other was beautiful ...

... No matter, the waiter valet parked my bike, went through the menu in half French, half English translation which allowed me to understand about two thrid of the menu, and dramatically presented the house specialty I ordered, lamb rack smoked with flowery herbs in its own little iron pot. After politely asking if I could skip dessert (to save a few euro, 28 to be exact), I recieved no fewer than 4 complimantary plates from the chef, over a dozen bite size ...

... 1941 he committed suicide, leaving Fisher alone in a profoundly new way. She took a job as a screen writer in Hollywood, but broke her contract and returned to her ranch at Bareacres in order to complete her pregnancy and give birth to her daughter Anne in September 1943. She never revealed the name of this child's father, but went on in 1945 to marry Donald Friede and to bear a second daughter, whom she named Kennedy. Marriage to Friede ended in 1951, and she became a "single ...
