Even merci is enough :-) Also in Paris there is quite a lot of English spoken. I barely get by in the country but I do, Nigel thankfully has improved so much since living here and now can also cope with phone calls which were always the nightmare. <br /><br />I just have to now sort my photos and get used to this laptop which I find needs the keys to be hit rather than touched as the old one did!!

Of course, speaking no French, he used the point and gesture method, such as pointing at croissants and holding up 2 fingers while his bride said "Merci!" I'm sure they were considered Rude Americans, but that's the price you pay for welcoming tourists, n'est ce pas? As always, your pictures were beautiful, and I'm looking forward to seeing more, now that you have a computer you can use!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-43896675400188958392014-10-07T10:48:08.599+02:002014-10-07T10:48:08.599+02:00Pam second reply coming up the last one went AWOL!...Pam second reply coming up the last one went AWOL!!
