LIZ SAYS:It is post workout, 19:46 (7:46 p.m.) and the sun is out in the partly cloudy sky. We hired a tutor to help us get really serious with our French. We had our first lesson Wednesday. Then, this morning we went to a neighborhood bistro and studied over coffee, fresh orange juice and croissant.
We decided to work hard on tackling the language, now that we have our cards. It has been overcast and there has been plenty to do all day, none of it eventful.
I just wanted to note that I think France has something I like to call the second daylight. Around 5 p.m., it seems like the sun is going down, particularly on overcast days like today and then, it almost seems to become stronger and more brilliant between 5-7. It's not twilight, its like a second bit of daylight. No wonder artists have always commented on the light in France. It is true, you can even see it in the city. It is like a blessing. Ah, oui.
