...just to be clear, we liked her music before (and separate to) her becoming France's First Lady, and before the press started drawing comparisons to Jackie Kennedy.
But there hasn't been much talk of Carla Bruni's music of late. Rather, her rendezvous with the Queen (Monsieur Sarkozy was there too) has attracted huge coverage in France. Our interest in Carla is I (Jon) listen to her music most days, because her songs are slow and poetic, and are great for learning French...except for the times she starts singing in Italian mid-way through a song.
And of more importance... Cathlin walked down the aisle to Carla's best track, 'Quelqu'un M'a Dit'.
On a different note, we heard positive comments from people who went to the Christian conference in Katoomba during Easter, and listened to talks on 'caring for the poor'. Would be very interested if anyone would like to post on our blog, or email, their thoughts on the talks.
Just finishing my second week of classes (and Cathlin's been working this week....but she'll post something about that later). We are moving into a shoe-box on Sunday for the remainder of our time in France (no internet access, but there is a public network that floats around Paris we might be able to use).
Other Paris observations include: wine is very cheap; everything else is expensive; and pigeons are much fatter here (I guess they need protection from the cold).

Well at least you guys will still be able to afford wine if you run out of money. x
