"I paid 1800 euros to order it special for you "
Worth every euro!
My only complaint was that I did not pack any shorts based on internet 10-day weather predictions. ( I did have ONE pair of cargo pants that I was able to unzip at both knees to remove the pant legs from effectively turning them into shorts) I really should've packed more shorts...
Did I ever drink wine... I'm not a connoisseur by any stretch but do enjoy a nice Pinot Grigio with most of my meal choices here in the states. however, I got really turned on to a Burgundy Rosé that floored me. Don't believe (or remember) having had any "bad" wine while we were in France that I did not like. But that Rosé was something else...
Funny, everyday I watched French TV news (in English) in the a.m. and again just before bed- anyway, the day we left Lyon for Paris (via charted bus as the rails were shut down due to the strikes grrrr) they claimed that there were no "open" petro stations along the route. However, I spotted at least two along the highway that were actively selling gas and the lines were only 2-3 deep at most- much unlike the city tours where the lines wrapped clear around the block. Saw one stretch of road where vehicles were just abandoned...
By the time we left Thursday a.m. I believe that most of the unions had settled?
Had a great time in France- the wait staff at every town/city (from Marseilles to Avignon to Viviers to Lyon to Paris) were very accommodating and we did not always go the traditional tourist routes while in the cities.
Very enjoyable time.
