A journey of skying!


My grand-parents (the parents of my father ) live in St-Girons, a little town nearby Toulouse (about 100 km) and at 40 km from Foix, just in the Pyrenées Ariège. There, you could enjoy the view over the mountains, the small villages whose houses have slate roofs, walls in stones.

The handscape is really nice and mosthy in winter when the snow recovers everything.

So, we are about 30 km from the sky resort. I have so many records from the time I was a little girl of 4 years crying on my skis while my father was trying to convince me to follow him.

Then later on , I was really enjoying skying with my friends, or my cousins.

Well, I can say without any pride that I manage quite well skying. It is so crazy when you let yourself be taken by the speed down the runs.

I don't like very much to take the chairlifts but we can not do otherwise.

We make fun of each others when one of us falls, or when we decide to make a competition, or other we are just bored skying and start fighting with the snowballs!!

At the end of the day when we all stop, we go and eat pancakes together and it is really fun.

Paris!


What a lovely city is Paris. You can't imagine how joyful I was the first time I went there to visit my brother who is studying to become a notary.

He has got a flat there and we stayed, I and my parents 3 days with him.

How triying it is be too late to catch the undergroung running like all the parisians.

We went to the Louvre museum. It is fantastic, absolutely goddious. It is plenty of paintings of the most famous painters in the world: Rubens, Delacroix, Leonard de Vinci ( La Jocond).

Then we went to Bobourg. I was very impressed by the leight of the building, the transparence of the architecture. There we also admired paintings of Kandinsky for instance.

I enjoyed very much walking in the streets getting into the various shops, among people talking so many foreign languages.

japanese, chinese, spanish, english, german and so on.

At last I want to talk to you about Versailles. It is so incredible to be there walking in the gardens of Lenôtre, dreaming just sometimes that we are livin at the time of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.


Well next time I will go on about someother interesting places I visited.

Pearl Harbor!


This film speak about one girl and two boys who are best friends.

Evelyn the nurses is falling in love and Rafe too.Prior to Rafe leaving, there is a big dance in New York, and many nurses are coming to the event. Some of the nurses are traveling there by train, and one of them, Evelyn Johnson , is telling the other nurses how she first met Rafe while assessing his fitness to fly. As Rafe is dyslexic, he has difficulty reading the letters . He would have failed the vision test had Evelyn not felt sorry and Evelyn aprover him. During his flu shots, she first agreed to go out with him, and they have been going out now for four weeks and two days. At the dance, Rafe tells Evelyn that in the morning he is headed off to England. They have a tearful good-bye, and Rafe tells her not to come to the train station to see him off. He goes to England, and Evelyn, Danny and the other officers get transferred to Pearl Harbor.

In Hawaii, both Danny and Evelyn are informed that Rafe is presumed killed in action.

Later, the surviving Doolittle Raiders are seen coming off the aircraft. Now visibly pregnant, Evelyn is there waiting to see who gets off. Rafe appears, and she's elated but waits to see if Danny is next. A sombre Rafe then reaches back inside and helps carry out the coffin containing Danny's remains. A few years later, Rafe, Evelyn and their son Danny, who is named in honor of his father and their best friend, are back at the farm in Tennessee overlooking Danny's grave. Rafe then asks little Danny if he would like to go flying, and an excited Danny points to the crop duster aircraft and, together, Rafe and little Danny fly off into the sunset.




It is my favourite film! It's incredible because it speaks about war and love.
