Wednesday French Inspiration

Château de Cassis

I'm getting myself a shot gun before next February 2nd. Why would I want to do that?  My thoughts were that when Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his hole, he won't see much if he is dead.  :)   Six more weeks of this cold is just not happening for me.  I am boycotting the cold.  There is something lonely about the cold.   So I say forget the cold.  Come and scadoo (a term from Blue's Clues) into the picture above.  We can listen to Le Soledad/ The Solitude (Translation of lyrics below).

I didn't get to visit the Château de Cassis.  I only saw its beauty from a far.   It was once a medieval castle built in 1382, sits high along the Blue Coast of Cassis.  It is now a hotel with the rooms only being reachable by staircases or tunnels. 

I would love to sit in my room overlooking the Mediterranean Sea enjoying some Amorino gelato.  I would write my book to the sound of the crashing waves.

A girl can dream right?

"Welcome to Amber Lynae's Place! What's your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Amber Lynae's Place, land of dreams. Some dreams come true, some don't; but keep on dreamin' - this is Amber Lynae's Place. Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin'."

Le Soledad (Translation: The Solitude)
by Pink Martini 


You came to me
Like poetry in the song
Showing me
A new world of passion

Loving me
With no selfishness and with no reason
But without knowing
That it was love
I protect my heart

The sun is gone
And I singing your song
The solitude
Owns all the emotion

Forgive me
If the fear has stolen my illusion

You came to me
I didn't know to love
And this song has been left alone

You came to me
Like poetry in the song
Showing me
A new world of passion

Loving me
With no selfishness and no reason
But without knowing
That it was love
You protect my heart

The sun is gone
And you singing your song
The solitude
Owns all the emotion

Forgive me
If the fear has stolen my illusion
You came to me
And this song has been left alone
