... system. A good use of modern technology.

The ceremony was held in both French and English, a paragraph in the first, followed by the translation in the second. So both of them said first “oui” and then “I do”: doubly married! That’s similar to the way my wife and I were married.

After the ceremony finished, we took some photos in doors and out and then had cake and ...

... on the quality of the fruits and vegetables. Things must be just ripe and at their best, not picked a week early for shipment somewhere. As a result the salads and raw vegetables served with vinaigrettes of various kinds are wonderful. I made a meal of the salad bar and was quite content.

After dinner I worked on preparing the sermon I will give tomorrow. And I decided to make an early night of it. As I was working I received a text message from my good friend ...

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). J'ai joué un peu de guitare avec eux et j'ai mis 1h30 a changer ces cordes de guitare qui ne voulait tout simplement pas tenir, j'ai eu l'air un peu maladroit ...

Grotte du Pech Merle
Me, Stee and four others left brunch early and flew to the Grotte du Pech Merle where we saw some cave paintings that were around 30,000 years old. We couldn't take pictures in the caves to preserve the ancient artwork. But the artwork is amazing and can be seen on the official website at http://www.pechmerle.com/

... the water. You can walk around them at low tide, and ride around them on a boat at high tide.

Arcachon
We returned to the yacht for dinner and then rode the tender to the little village of Arcachon. The water front has a large promenade with a casino at its center. Unlike Las Vegas, casino’s in France have a dress code so we had dressed up before heading out.

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... the balcony and watched the sunset pver the water with a glass of wine in hand. We sampled duck, oysters, french sausage, french cheeses, baguettes and crepes to name but a few. Eating is part of the culture in france and on Saturday night we had a 5 course dinner party - all cooked by Lucy - it was amazing! The children got on really well. Will, Lily and Amaya speak french and english so it was often quite difficult to keep up with what they were saying. It is a good way to ...

Well, today Mark and I, and another person, gave our group presentation on a human rights topic selected for us. The presentation was an hour long, but the group presentations are supposed to be creative. We decided to present it as a news broadcast similar to the style in ...
