OK, NOT going to Italy. Signed up for a trip to Normandy and down the Seine River!

Got a friend who is interested in going, too. He's never been outside the U.S. except for Vietnam.

Screw Trump and his stubby little hands.

I'll have Paris in that mix. I'll always have Paris!

We went to some of the same places in May 2015. Took photos of some of the same things. Would love to go back. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

It's on Rue Marcadet near St. Clotilde. Best chateaubriand and profiteroles I've ever had in my life.

Even with bad knees (since replaced) it was a blast. Great food (virtually everywhere we went), amazing things to see (small towns....Hon Fleur....and big ones....Paris) and places for reflection (cemetery at Normandy). I'd go back in a second! Too many things to see and do in one trip....even a two week trip! Enjoy your stay and report back here. 🇫🇷
