Great Trip to France

Tasted some wines.

Saw some landmarks.

Viewed the D-day beaches.

Climbed up some mountains.

My Dad and I took a trip to France. We had both been looking forward to it for many months and it did not disappoint. We saw almost everything in France from top, Mont St. Michel and the Normandy beaches, to the bottom, Marseilles, Arles and Avignon. The first half of the trip we drove from Paris Airport to Mont St. Michel and all over Normandy, then back to Paris. A customer of mine gave me advice about driving in France before I left. He said practice this: beep your horn, curse and shake your fist in the air. If I did that I would be ok driving. Well, I only had to use it once. The French drivers are actually more courteous and thoughtful of other drivers than any driver in New Jersey is. They never hog the fast lane, use their blinkers and flash their lights to let you know it is ok to move into their lane. We only got lost a few times and it was mostly around Paris where we kept passing a huge amusement park called "Festyland". I think they did this on purpose in order to get more visitors after tourists got tired of going around in circles. We came back to Paris for a few days and had some fabulous food, saw Versailles, Museum D'Orsay and had a dinner cruise on the Seine River. Next onto a train to Dijon and to Charlon sur Soame for our boat cruise on the Soame and Rhone river through the
South of France. What a wonderful trip! More later when I get over jet lag.
