Memories of Corsica

This evening I am jumping between the Olympics and a program on TV5Monde's Echappes belles on Corsica. The program brings back memories of my student days when I studied in Corsica, the summer of 1968 (The 20th century Novel and French Theatre of the 20th Century).After classes which were held in the morning, we would spend the afternoon on the beach. We would hitch-hike and to into the very blue and comfortable water. In the evening we'd climb over the walls of the school (that was the short cut) to buy crèpes from the vendor in front of the school. I am in contact with only one other American student who was studying there that summer, Camille. She has fond memories of Corsica as well. If you see the French film "Joueuse" (Queen to Play) set in Corsica, you will find some views of Ajaccio the city in which we studied at Ecole Normale.
