festival de cannes 2008
Every year around this time, I get nostalgic for the days that Erin D. (now L.) spent in Cannes. We lived across the street from the beach, rarely had an afternoon class, took A LOT of afternoon naps, and ate endless amounts of yummy food.
One of the perks of our study abroad program was getting tickets to the Festival. It was here that I first saw Beautiful People, The Straight Story, and sat alongside Ben Affleck to watch Dogma --- So, yeah, we didn't really sit "beside" rather we were in the middle row of the balcony and he was down front. But, we did walk the same red carpet! Check out this year's line up if you're interested.

I have the same nostalga everytime the festival makes the news. I have to check out what and who is there and remember those great and crazy times WE walked the beach and braved crowds to catch a glimpse of Catherine Zeta Jones.
As fun as that all was (and as good most of the movies were), my fondest memories are conversations over good food (and wine), getting to know people better and all on the beach, of course!
What a great semester...
When is the reunion?
:)

Yeah, man - and the best part was all those visits from your neighbors in Aix...

We thoroughly enjoyed our visits from (and TO!) our Aix friends...
Who got burnt to a crisp on the beach? Vang or Bry?
I would love to go back and revisit some old tromping grounds...
and maybe squeeze a trip to Italy in? Just for old time's sake. :) We could skip the sleeping on the train part. And the running out of money in a Venician restaurant AFTER ordering.
I'd keep everything else. Especially the company...
