So, I'm preparing for my trip to France next week, practicing french, tweaking my interview questions, getting a handle on the digital video camera, and reading up on what's happening this week in France (in addition to the election of a new President) and I came across a wonderful article in Le Monde about how Lyon, where I'll be spending 10 days, has just revitalized a section of the Rhone waterfront accentuating, among other things, its natural beauty: Le Monde.fr : Lyon se r�concilie avec son fleuve en r�am�nageant les quais du Rh�ne.
This is like a home run for me -- practice reading french aloud, learn about important events that are au courant, it's about nature, which is my second most favorite thing next to learning itself, and it gives me a major destination for some of that free time I hope to have once I've finished with the interviews, translations and note-taking...
