$209 & up- Europe on sale from 40+ U.S. Cities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here in Canandaigua, NY, it's that time of the year again. We've just exited a first class, 4 star, sunny spell, and now, that first nippy overcast fall day has arrived, the kind where you debate whether to start a fire or get a warm sweater. Transition time again. And so it is with my Fall newsletter to you- a time to update on doings and goings-on in Europe, to take a look at the Euro-dollar trend, see what's on the horizon for my FPS home shares, and other tidbits of Franco-related information.

 

How's this for starters?

Euros
Everyone seems to be writing about the euro/dollar shift, from the Wall Street Journal, to our area   newspapers. It wouldn't surprise me if you'd heard something like the following from the International Herald Tribune:
In afternoon European trading the euro bought US$1.4081, down from US$1.4142 in late New York trading on Friday. The euro hit an all-time high of US$1.4284 on Oct. 1 on continued concerns about the U.S. trade and budget deficits, and speculation of new U.S. interest rate cuts on the horizon .Learn more...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
videos in French
I'm never too sure how many of you read and/or speak French but why not consider this good deal?  For example,  l'Arc-en-plume (541 341-5304) out of Quebec, has this amusing  film called La Chevre starring Gerard Depardieu and Pierre Richard:

La ch�vre. Une com�die par excellence avec G�rard Depardieu et Pierre Richard. La malchance, �a existe. Depuis sa naissance, la fille du grand PDG Bens va de catastrophe en catastrophe. Lorsqu' elle dispara�t au Mexique, son p�re engage sur les conseils d' un psychologue d'entreprise un type aussi malchanceux qu'elle, Fran�ois Perrin, et un v�ritable d�tective, Campana, pour lui servir d'ange gardien.
