The Long Awaited Update!
Okay, okay! For those of you crying out for an update, this is it! And it promises to be a nice, long one as well. We’ve had pretty limited internet access for a while, either because it was too expensive or not working properly. And so, here you go. The last time I posted we had left Spain. So much has happened since then...Spain seems so long ago now. My plan for this post is to actually divide it into several posts. One section will include our short stay in Nice and then our time in Italy. Another section will delve into our experiences at L’abri, which is where we stayed in Switzerland, and Paris. The final section for now will be our wonderful stay with Jake’s aunt and uncle in Germany. Sound good? Well, that’s how I’m doing it, so it doesn’t really matter what you think. Here goes!!!

Well worth the wait. Glad ya'll got coats. Being out touring in the cold is a lot different then hopping in your car and running in to a building. Love you both!!!
Just a PI (Politically Incorrect story about France (& the French):
A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to
locate his passport in his carry on. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had
been to France previously. 'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready' The American
said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.' 'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. 'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this
country, I couldn't find any damn Frenchmen to show it to.'
You could have heard a pin drop
If you don't understand this story, I'll explain later, but it is why the French speak French rather than German.

Were you allowed to enter & walk up into the leaning tower, either before or after you straightened it?
Dad
FINALLY...That is all I wanted to say! :-)
PS.. I got the joke ;-)
