My brother had never seen Midnight in Paris, so we rented it on Amazon tonight (thanks UnoTelly!). It starts with a montage of various locations in Paris, and one the things I enjoy about visiting places is recognizing them in movies and TV shows, and there were many places we'd been already.
Though it did also highlight all the places we have yet to visit in Paris and France. We're quickly running out of weekends (particularly since we'll be in Germany and the UK during two of them) and there's still a lot of castles, museums, and historical sights to visit, much less re-visit our favorites. It's a bit frustrating that the first 2-3 months of our ex-pat experience was just getting moved in and non-exhausted on the weekends, when there is so much to see! We'll obviously be back to Europe in the future (and hopefully one day actually live here semi-permanently) but we're trying to make the most of it while we can.
I do find it interesting when we tell people here that we would like to live in Europe, since they find it shocking we would ever want to leave the US. But alas it's always a "grass is greener on the other side" kind of thing.
Speaking of which, my friend sent me this really fascinating article on French cancer treatments and how vastly it differs from how we treat cancer in the US.
