... the bridge so that we could get a view of the cities from both sides. They have some beautiful arches leading into the city along the water and a huge cathedral.

So the congregation in Michigan held services in such a way that they wedding could be heard during the announcement period of services over their ...

... at 2:00, before the start of services. The wedding will follow shortly after the service. Helen asked if we could have a cell phone on line to her church area back in Michigan, and I told her that would be fine, though I wasn’t sure how well they’d be able to hear.

I gave Mrs. Audoin a break from food preparation and had dinner at the hotel. It was pleasantly restful. The salad bar is wonderful at the hotel. Generally, the French put a lot of ...

... Mr. Mrs. Bernal were there too, we had a very enjoyable evening, catching up on news, comparing notes about the recent convention we had in Normandy and planning for the future. French dinner can last quite a while, but several of us were tired from the day's activities so we finished the meal at around 9:00 pm, and went our separate ways; looking forward to meeting again soon.

"you mean, instead of ALS???" and yes, I am a dork. p.s. I miss you, TEMS) it was a pretty international group - amongst us, we represented the U ...

... and full of wine caves who can ship the wine for you. There are some tours around specific guided areas if you want them, we explored ourselves for a couple of hours and ate in the sqaure under the main church. Looked i afew shops and headed back to station to await our return train which was bang on time , 40 mins later we were back in Boredeaux and took a quickish meal at an italian just off Place de parliament (which was great value).
