What a disaster. We thought we had posted several blogs in the last few weeks only to discover that our non_existant command of the german language had resulted in our saving them as drafts rather than posting them _ then to add to our woes, the first cybercafe we used in Paris was run by a japanese couple who had all the computers set on their language and couldn,t change it either to english or french. Hopefully all is remedied and you can now scroll down to find out what we have been doing.
You will realise that we were not in London during the recent bombings but we still are very saddened by them. it is hard to understand why anyone would target innocent people going about their everyday lives. There is a particularly poignant report in today,s Guardian newspaper of a speech made by the mother of a 26 year old young man killed on his way to work. We appreciated text messages and phone calls from our family and friends to check that we were safe = strangely, that was how we first knew that anything had happened.
We have been in UNESCO today and look forward to Bastille Day celebrations tomorrow. Then one more week in Paris before going to UK.
