Happy birthday Sis!
Here's something for #8:
"Marseille n'est pas une ville pour touristes. Il n'y a rien à voir. Sa beauté ne se photgraphie pas. Elle se partage. Ici, il faut prendre partie. Se passionner. Etre pour, être contre. Etre violemment. Alors seulement ce qui est à voir se donne à voir. Et là, trop tard, on est en plein drame antique où le héros c'est la mort. A Marseille, même pour perdre il faut savoir se battre."
Jean-Claude Izzo, on Marseille, but it could be about France as a whole, and the effort to live life passionately.
Happy Birthdau sweetie - hope you had a great day!!!! !

Happy Belated Birthday from a fellow Canadian (in Germany via Vancouver) - my older son's birthday is also Feb. 28. I just popped over from Expat Travelers blog and thought I'd say hi.
