Paris! Oh I remember it well!

What a week I had, while reading Faubert. All of a sudden I started thinking about Paris with its flair and excitement. Though the trip was 20 years ago, my fond memories were vivid. Without noticing it, this past week I put on my favorite opera “La Boheme”which takes place in Paris, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sc%C3%A8nes_de_la_vie_de_Boh%C3%A8me, the Pavarotti-Freni edition (Alanza-Gerorgiou, a husband and wife team gives the opera a more realistic love element). Of course with most operas someone dies, but not before Puccini (a Romantic) mesmerizes you with his unforgettable melodies “O soave fanciulla”.

I of course took out pictures of the Paris trip, focusing on the impressionist art which I love.(Monet my favorite),

all of which can be seen in the Muse de Orsay, the most unique museum in the world, a 19th century train station.

To top off the week, I was disappointed with the movie “Marie Antoinette”, was a bit unrealistic  especially with the music selection starting with Blondie.

Of course all the guys in the class are asking themselves, “where do I a get a job like Frederick’s, able to support four women at the same time?”
