Je vais aller à la France
I want to look like zees when I get back. Oui, I want to be a quadrilateral.
***Thanks to YFunk3 for correcting my shoddy use of French articles. See, this is why I'm going to study more French!!!***
Given that I hadn't really learned much in my junior high and high school attempts (could it have been my teacher's Joisey accent?), I've had this in-the-back-of-my-mind desire to go to France and study French for a while. So much so that I absentmindedly signed up for a French language school's email list a few years ago. Every year, for the past two years around holiday season, I get an email for an "offre speciale," taunting me with discounted French courses.
"D'oh!" I usually think, "I have to work!"
I got the same email this year, and I nearly had the same thought again.
"D'oh!" my conditioned/brainwashed mind began to think, "I have to...wait a minute! No, I don't!"
So I'm headed to Bordeaux on November 26th, and I will be back on December 20th - both in time for Christmas and a dentist's appointment (yay!). I don't think French wine country will be as appealing in cold weather, but the discount is nice!

It's "Je vais aller à LA France"!!! Man....Good thing L'Académie Française is in Paris, or they'd totally kick your ass for leaving out the correct articles. :o)
And I heard Bordeaux is nice, though I've never been to the south of France before.
Well aren't you just the traveler!
Je suis trés jalouse!
...Yeah, that's about the extent of my French. Sigh.
Ah, I was wondering whether I should put the "la" for à LA France. You know, it's very tricky with the articles leading into countries...
BTW, pics from Ghana are scattered throughout the blog. I wasn't able to post video because the files. BOO.
