Claire de Lune
Bonjour,
I had a very nice vacation ( a little extra due to a snow day ) and thought I would share a few things. For one, this is the first vacation that actually felt like vacation. It wasn't really hectic and I always had something to do, but didn't HAVE to do anything. It was just mellow and I am glad I got to have it.

I went to Boston over break and that was a lot of fun. Kristina and I took the bus down and the train back, it was short but fun. The city is amazing and I can't wait to get out of Maine to experience it. Even though I will be in London which is larger than Boston, it will be a similar experience to be in a city. The lights were beautiful around Newbury St., Quincy Market, and Downtown Crossing. It was a nice breath of fresh air (not literally though, haha) to really get away from Maine.

Cheering is going great and I am happy that I finally have my back handspring. The routine is being polished and all of our stunts are hitting, so thats really exhilarating.

On another note I saw both Into the Wild and Atonement over vacation. They are both AMAZING movies. Atonement is a beautiful tragic love story about two lovers who are torn apart by a little girls lie. It is just a great story and James Mcavoy and Kiera Knightly are amazing as the leads. The story is very touching and tragic.

Into the Wild was downright groundbreaking. The directing really helped people capture the emotion that was needed to make the film as powerful as the book. They are kind of different from each other, but they are both amazing as separates. The acting is great and you really feel like you get to know Chris McCandless while you watch the movie. It gives you the same type of feeling as the book and I would strongly recommend everyone to watch the film. It is just great.

So the title of the blog is one of my favorite classical songs by Debussy, it's relaxing. They use it in my favorite commercial, the Chanel No. 5 commercial with Nicole Kidman. They also use it in Atonement.

So have a good week everyone!
