En France...

Le francais est etonnate! Well, at least in my opinion. I had a rather interesting delusion the other day. I pictured myself with a young child (my own) and I was speaking to them in French. Their father (faceless at this point) then spoke to them in English. Then it occurred to me how awesome it would be to have bilingual children! It didn't matter that I'm currently learning Spanish and not French. French it was and rightly so. As useful and practical as Spanish is, French has a little more sophistication. I still want to follow through and learn Spanish, but I would then like to learn French. I don't know where I'd have a use for either of these languages, but there is something very appealing about the idea of be trilingual.

But beyond the language, I find France as a country to be quite fascinating. Over the past couple of weeks for absolutely no reason whatsoever* I have fallen in love with France. Some of my favorite movies/plays/books of all time take place (at least in part) in France: The Three Musketeers, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo, Beauty and the Beast, Chocolate, etc.

I also have an unexplainable new interest with French history. This might be due to the several books I've read recently that take place in France between 1600-1800. But regardless, I am very intrigued by the country. They aided America during the Revolution not 20 years before their own. I don't know why these things fascinate me so much, but they do. I feel a sudden urge to go to Paris like in Sabrina and do some sort of internship and learn to speak French. ("You speak no French yes?" "No." "No?" "Yes. Could you repeat the question?")

Eventually. :)

Au revoir!

*I lied. There were reasons. :)
