Paris 2016

Took the family on a 2 1/2 week trip to Europe 2016. Went to London, Paris and then Milan. France was hosting the 2016 European championship. While we were in London there was a terrorist incident in a French town that was hosting a game. Even when I was in Paris the stadium there I recalled had an incident but they did not overreact. Only thing I saw was around the major sites you would see 2-3 soldiers walking around with guns on a predetermined route. But that was it. Nothing like you are seeing in DC or these other cities.
