I hit the Basilique du Sacre Coeur and the river Sine, too many people at the tower.

In Prague I almost did it off the castle wall but decided that the river was safer.

To all the France-haters out there....France is amazing....and as Jacques Chirac said yesterday, "A war which lacks legitimacy does not acquire legitimacy if it is won."

France had and has legitimate reasons to oppose the War in Iraq. Everyone in the bush administration was saying that Iraq has WMDs and connections with Al-Qaeda. Did we find ANY Al-Qaeda members in Iraq? Did we find ANY weapons of mass destrcution. The entire Bush administration needs to stick to the FACTS...

Powell told us and the UN that iraq had 25,000 liters of anthrax, tons of chemical weapons and were on the brink of creating a nuclear bomb. NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE!

Congress needs to do its job and QUESTION the president, instead of just agreeing to everything he says. That is what "checks and balances" are all about.

-----------------

ok enough about my rant on world politics....France is amazing! I am having fun. The best is that the work week is 35 hours...so i have plenty of time to chill and relax.....also French women are beautiful....especially the way they dress when they go out at night...veyr fashionable...very elegant.....

thanks for the all the suggestions!

Have a great trip. You are surrounded by wonderful people whose government cares about them. Enjoy being free of a now hateful country lead by a fascist government that will hopefully return back to normal soon.

I'd check out all of the great food. I'd like to try foie gras, fleur de sal (I know, it sounds stupid, but I'd like to try it), and all of the great wines and cheeses of the area.

I'd also go to the Ardennes (sp?) Forest. You can visit some WW1/WW2 sites too.
