    Well, hope you enjoy the trip. Personally, I rather feel as Phantom does, when it comes to France. I won't go to a socialist country. We got plenty of those idiots here. No need for me to go among them. And you said you don't like crowds. Well, you're living in Brooklyn??? Just wondering . Well, Alaska will be more fun for you next year, I think. Anyway, enjoy the trip.

    By the way, Menomonie is my second favorite name for a city. Temecula is the first and Truth or Consequences, NM coming in third. Anyway, the fact I do live in the city is the reason I hate cities but because of family, grandchildren mostly the parents you can have, business reasons I am here, not too much longer though. The last thing I want to do is go from a congested, filthy, multicultural cesspool and vacation in another. But since we are in a socialist country, and have been since 1933 when they took the gold and replaced it with fiat currency, it should be an easy fit, minus the body odor and underarm hair, and that is just the women. 2 days of Paris after 9 days of prayer, relaxation, camping and contemplating in those green hills I can do. A picture by Notre Dame, which used to be Catholic and the Eiffel Tower I'm good. Grab a bottle of wine and head to the hotel. Like any trip by the time it winds down you just want to get home.

    [QUOTE=taxfree4;190650]Thank you Farside, it'll be my first time over. I decided to change the plans a little. I shortened my stay at La Salette and will be spending 3 days in Paris before I go home. I figured while I'm there I might as well do a little sight-seeing being I'll be in the mountains for 9 days. It pays to buy the flex plan on long hauls.

    I mute the music


    Wow
    Very nice, thx for the link to the drone view. Sounds and looks like a great place for a "come to Jesus" overhaul. I need one too!

    I'm actually a little excited about your trip Mike. I hope you take lots of pictures and post the here. This is definitely off the beaten path tourists wise in France, I'm sure you will reconnoiter and discover some good eats over there. Go where the locals go.

    Whem I Was in Germany, I would go to a local metzgerei in the village, and a local bäckerei too. Pick up fresh worsts, cold cuts, and then hit the bäckerei's with all of their wonderful baby butt soft milch brotchens, wasser brotchens, ect, and other brot freshly baked and warm... It's all you need, we'lll get some kasi and butter and senf, you would then have a astronomically complete and abundant breakfast to put yourself right back into a midmorning foood coma.


    The german breads (and the sweeties) are the BEST!

    Subject: The Pastor and his donkey


    A Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

    The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S A$$ OUT FRONT.

    The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S AS$.

    This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey. The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.

    The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST A$S IN TOWN.

    The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farm for $10.

    The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS AS$ FOR $10 This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

    The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER A$S IS WILD AND FREE.

    The Bishop was buried the next day.

    The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery and even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's a$$ and just cover your own !!! You'll be a lot happier and live longer!

    One of the things I'm really looking forward to is being on that 777-300, 90,000 lbs of thrust from those GE's. The startup on those babies is worth the price of admission. I have looked at the local restaurants, there aren't that many being a rural community, but definitely Will, I plan to communicate with the locals. The shrine where I'm staying has a meal plan but they said they couldn't accommodate my food request of a pound of chopmeat once a day. Who can't make 4 burgers? Anyway, they'll be plenty of pictures and videos. I'll be hiking all day, my tent may be too bulky so I'll grab a tarp and definitely bring a sleeping bag. Being 6000 ft up, with no other light at night the star display should be massive. I am told by the girl at reception that there are farms where you can pull up and they'll have a whole bunch of goods i.e. raw milk, cheese etc, no one there just leave the $, like where I was in Vermont recently, which is a foreign concept where I grew up/ live. Gap is the nearest big town and there is a kayak rental place on this beautiful lake not that far away. It should be interesting. .
