I Think I Want To Be French!

Croissants, chocolate croissants and macaroons what more do you need? Oh! There is wine if you like too! The generous, friendly French sing, "Bon jour!" and insist you sample their warm cookies. "Merci! Merci! Ooh-la-la!" one responds.

When I die I want to go to France! Tom says, "The women are thin and men rugged!" (possibly a wine inspired comment) Creative, compassionate and free spirited they thrive in the countryside. (count me in!)

Speaking of the countryside it is stunning. No building sprawl eating up beauty, just gently winding roads and mountains to appreciate.

A short editorial comment - Germans are stern and don't greet often on the street ,unless they've run a criminal background check on you. The French put out a welcome mat. Moral of story - smile and believe in cookie magic! Sounds good to me!
