Abroad T oFrance

June 1 Paris, France Day 20  So when you are from Waynesville, Ohio, the Antique capital of the Midwest and see an antique store, you must stop. But I did not find anything I could carry back.

May 31 London, England Day 19 This is another picture I have wanted to take for years and it was hard to find one in good order and not be in a moving bus. I will print this one and hang it as well.

May 30 Paris, France Day 18  This is a picture I have wanted to take for years. Let me tell you it is a hard picture to get, half the people want the same picture and the other half want to get their picture in front of it. I got it and I will print it and hang it on my wall.

May 29 Versailles, France Day 17  The young queen Marie Antoinette played in this little fairy village just like a child. It shows us that she was very young and was plucked straight from childhood to take on the weight of the world.

May 28 Paris, France Day 16  Oh, my goodness the craziest traffic circle ever. I had no idea the history of this amazing place the eternal flame for the unknown soldiers is moving.

May 27 Normandy, France Day 15  Normandy!! This a beautiful place to be and to remember. To see so many young people at this sight and know that 75 years before many of the young people that traveled to this same great place, sadly, never left.

May 26 Versailles, France Day 14  Versailles the 1st time. The gates where locked and closed today but the story made us feel as though we were there as the Mothers once stormed on this very place asking for the fate of the queen. On the other side of this palace you see a different side of the queen that she was only an innocent child when she became queen.

May 25 Stuttgart, Germany Day 13  Stuttgart, Germany! This town was supposed to be closed. When we arrived the commercial chain type stores were closed but the town square was full of families and activities, we found churches, a museum, and plenty of history.

May 24 Paris, France Day 12  The senate. Amazing history and beauty and a feel that you are walking where many great powerful people have walked before. It is interesting to learn that other political systems work as well as ours and the similarities to our government system.

May 23 Paris, France Day 11 Angelina Paris was delicious! Straight out of a movie! We felt like high society and we brought home hot chocolate to share with our family. Definitely the best Hot Chocolate that I have ever tasted!

May 22 Paris, France Day 10  Eiffel Tower day!!! Okay Wow! My first sight of the Eiffel Tower. My entire life I thought this was what France is all about. As spectacular as it is there is so much more to France and Paris.

May 21 Paris, France Day 9 Our home metro station and the first day in Paris! Never forget how to get home. The metro station was always full of lots of busy people going from place to place

May 20 Nice, France->Paris, France Day 8  What do the French think of American McDonalds? This is a billboard just outside of a very busy train station. The train ride was long but the trip to Paris exciting!

May 19 Ventimiglia, Italy Day 7  Our day off, so why not hop on a Train and visit a very sleepy Italian village. We enjoyed great food and a short walk to a pebble beach.

May 18 Monte Carlo, Monaco Day 6 Every corner you go around is a new adventure. New food, sights, history and new friends.

May 17 Nice, France Day 5 The view from one side of the school. The other side is crystal blue water. The school was beautiful and the students welcoming.

May 15 Nice, France Day 3 What was this trip for? Growth, a dream come true, to see the likes and differences in people.

May 14 Nice, France Day 2 A beautiful view, a trip seemingly right from out of the pages of a magazine and we still see the trials of life.

May 13 Nice, France Day 1  A day of discovering our new home and what a beautiful city to discover. Our hotel was placed in the most convenient location.
