I wanna visit France
Enjoy the food and wine
See Paris at night -- ablaze with light
Succumb to its wondrous mystique
See Musee d'Orsay's offerings
Linger in cafes in romantic Montmartre
Behold medieval architecture
Pray in the cathedral at Chartres
Yes, I wanna view Saint Bernadette in her glass coffin
Reflect on the life of Saint Joan
See vast fields of flowers and wheat fields of gold
Blankets yet covering forgotten soldier's bones
I wanna meet someone at Le Guerre De Leon
Then ride the Orient Express
Oh yes!
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna!
Then you just gotta, just gotta, just gotta...no more dreaming, dreaming, dreaming...! Ah, if only it were that simple, eh? But as long as there is life, there is hope, dear Gwen. Don't give up on that dream.
Oh me toooooo...it's so damn sad that we have to struggle to get what we want.....life ain't damn fare!!
Love Tinka

There is no doubt that France has its charms. I am a first generation Canadadian so all of my "extended" family lives over there. For me, France is a nice place to visit but I'd rather be here. Still, if you love to travel, I can understand your dream and I hope you get to live it. Love and peace to you, Gwen,
