Re:

either this trip if you choose or next, when you are next in paris, you should meet the french ambassador. she is eva's neighbor in ny. you can set it up. the embassy is around the corner from ariane. I do think its funny that the mother is suggesting a new ARIANE nation ala hitter

Meaning our Ambassador, Jane Hartley? It's funny you mention because the British Ambassador told me last night that it was very poor form for the Americans to appoint a French Ambassador who speaks less French than I do.
