While trying to make my way directly out of the city I somehow ended up driving down the Champs Elysées and around the Place Ch. de Gaulle. Nerve-racking at the time, but a nice experience to look back on.

I wish I'd retained my textbooks. It is indeed true that I learned more about English by studying Latin than I learned by studying English. (English major with almost a classics minor). And Latin was extremely helpful studying French, and of course Italian. Bien sur, je ne parle pas de Francais tres bien, ou Latin, ou Italian. Sometimes learning something new is just worth it.
