Bonnie, Yeah France is fantastic, not that I get to go as often as I'd like any more.
If you're going to go down to the Med or up to Alsace, let me know- kids will be there at the same time and are always interested to meet new people. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
