... Tabernacles and then a sermon on the deep significance of marriage. We finished in time to get everything ready for the wedding. We had a scheduled beginning time of 4:10 pm, because Helen's congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan wanted to listen to the ceremony over the phone. The wedding had originally been planned to take place in Michigan, but due to the US State Departments refusal of an engagement visa ...

... 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 ...

This morning I was up and out of the hotel just after sunup for the drive to Charles de Gaulle airport. I arrived with plenty of time, and filled the tank with diesel before turning the car in. The flight to Bordeaux left at 1:10 and arrived on time about 2:30. On our take-off route over Paris, we again had a pretty clear view of the city. The Eiffel Tower is the easiest landmark to ...

... Le soir j'ai jaser et déguster une bonne bouteille de vin en compagnie d'un Français de la Bretagne. J'ai aussi fait la connaissance de deux jumelles allemandes( Joël j'ai tout de suite penser a toi sur ce coup là, malgré que la prochaine fois y faut que ce soit des jumelles suèdoise).

... and they will still be aboard when we return to the yacht. We arrived at the yacht close to 1 PM, where I grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed to my room for a nap. Wesley and I played hard in Paris and this was my first chance to recover.

Our boat is too large to fit into any of the Marinas in the Arcachon Bay. After sleeping a few hours, I went ...

... Nicolas Sarkozy became minister of the interior and turned most of the police and gendarmerie out on the roads to enforce the limits, people generally stay very close to the limit. (And the French people, impressed, elected Mr. Sarkozy President!)

I stopped for lunch at the home of Jeanne and Michelle Reverte, friends we've known for decades. After a very pleasant lunch, Jeanne and I were joined by the Mr. Mrs. Ybars ...

... annual board meetings. One of the things I had been researching is how to set up teleconferences in France, so that we can include the two other board members, one who lives in Switzerland and one in Martinique. I plan to be able to do that for our future meetings. We discussed recent activities, future plans and budgetary items as well as our planning for the upcoming festival we’ll have in Normandy in ...

... you have the right shoes?"
"Yes, these heels will do!"

The views from the peak are amazing and quite surreal.
You ask yourself "what is this doing here in this bay?"
It's truly natural and formed itself about a hundred years ago, although how you can say that it is a coincidence and not a side afect of man's tampering is a ...
