Last night Ann and Fiona (both down from Scotland for a long weekend) and I went to see Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me if You Can, based on the true life story of one of the most successful con artists in history - Frank Abagnale, Jr. What did I enjoy most about the movie? Well, I had read elsewhere on the web that the opening credits were incredible, and yes, they were! One of the opening sequences of the film is at a Rotary meeting - funny, indeed. Part of the story takes place in France which the French audience seemed to enjoy; part of the story takes place in Atlanta, Georgia which I enjoyed.

What’s to do on a lazy Saturday afternoon in Paris? Read a book, catch up on emails, do chores, run a few errands, etc. So, yes, there are less glamorous parts of studying abroad; it’s not non-stop touristic fun!

Yesterday morning we watched the film Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain, or simply Amélie elsewhere around the world, during our visual communications class. It was my third time to see it. I’ve come to meet quite a few people who are obsessed with the film; I just like it. But it’s definitely one everyone should watch—especially anyone who’s coming to visit me while I’m here. And that includes you too, mom & dad!!!

And I never saw any Beaujolais flowing through the streets…
