Tuesday
Our host Jean Marc purchased tickets for the tour bus. We were able to see many of the Paris landmarks in one day! It was very difficult for Jean Marc, he was host to 5 women in the group, we had to visit every toilette in Paris! I don’t think he understands American women or our tiny bladders! We enjoyed the typical Paris lunch. I had the Salad Nicoise – I learned that you have water, wine, or beer with your meal, but NOT coffee. I also learned about Perrier or badoit water which is water that has gas added to it. It’s much better than it sounds. I was very concerned that I would need a little coffee to get me through the afternoon. I was delighted to discover that the French take coffee at the end of their meal.
The name of the ceremony Ravivage De La Flamme
The name of the holiday yesterday La Jew Deportation in the camp of mauthausen (a town in Austria)
Following our lunch we visited Notre Dame and finished our tour.
We finished the evening with a La Belle Eroca- a cabernet show. I competed with the English in a hula hoop contest on stage. Rachael, I wish would have been there because I didn’t do very well. L
We finished up at 12:00

Story from Jean Marc tells a story of going to the region we are visiting “You will be crying 2 time – 1st time because the temp and the rain the 2nd when you leave - Because of the friendly reception of the friendly people. We were greeted by Marie Francequise.
We entertained with the local club. I stayed with Mike and Chris Polland. A Scottish and English couple. They have a new puppy called Digby. We stayed up late talking. Mike and Chris were very interested in our education and religious views. Chris is an artist, also. She had just finished up a show with an equine theme. views. Chris is an artist, also.
