Bon Jour from Paris

I am sitting in a hotel room in Paris France and have never posted from a foreign country before so thought this might be fun. I have been in France for 10 days and have nothing but good things to say. Contrary to popular opinion, the people here seem polite and courteous. I have spent much of the trip along the coat from Normandy south through Brittany and then up the Loire Valley. Being an American in those area brings a certain pride and status. Visited the D-Day beaches and the American Cemetery. Tough place to keep from getting choked up. We sat in a small hotel in Bayeux (the first village liberated by Allied troops on D-day) and watched Saving Private Ryan on my computer. It was certainly powerful to watch the film from the area where the events took place. There are monuments to American soldiers erected everywhere.
After that we toured(on our own...no tour busses for me) some ancient Cathedrals, Castles, and Château's. Then on to Paris for the usual sites. I will add some pics but need to post this as I belive I have a time limit on the connection.
