Torrid affairs with Parisian bankers? Are we going to have to act as chaperones?

Just the other day I asked Mr. M if he could remember the last time we went to a movie, and he couldn't. Of course, we're out here in the sticks, but I have to say I haven't heard lately of any movies I really, really want to see, anyway. "Jean de Florette" and "Manon of the Spring" inspired my desire to visit Provence. Alas, I haven't made it there yet.

Ha! Believe me, the least of your worries is whether I'm going to have a torrid affair with a French banker! LOL!

My friend and I just can't decide where we want to tour outside Paris. So we think we'll just leave some time open and decide after we've been in Paris for a week. We may hear of a great festival or a region where the fall colors are terrific. I love unstructured trips and that time of year we ought to be able to just head out without reservations. Wish y'all were going to be around longer and could go "adventurin'" with us. But I do look forward to meeting up with you and DH for some good food & wine!

If you like foreign films, I'd highly recommend "Babette's Feast". We have a bunch of foreign films on our Netflix queue, but they haven't come up yet. We keep finding other movies we want to see and putting them to the top.

Two others I liked very well were "Chocolat" and "Enchanted April". We just saw "Gladiator" a couple of weeks ago; a brutal movie, but a very good one. We saw "Training Day" last week; gads but it was violent!! Gonna watch "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" and "Return of the Native" over the weekend.
