There's way too much animosity between the US, UK and France these days.

I propose a grass roots love in, where we, the Americans and Brits post something we each like about France and her people.

I believe this will help heal the wounds the recent political climate has caused.

I'll go first....

France has one of the most magnificent art museums in the world, the Leuvre (Please excuse the spelling)

A most beautiful city. Paris and wonderful museums.
I spent a week there 3 years ago and had a great time.

Getting ice for a drink, well that is a bit of work.

The distance from here to there.

im guessing you have never been outside of north america muckmaw. Comming across ice in your drinks is like finding gold in a river. Extremely rare.

I was actually in Italy for 2 weeks back around 1991.

I don't remember the lack of ice, but it's most likely a small detail I forgot all about.

What I do remember being strange is the breakfasts in Italy.

Many of the hotels served Ham and cheese sandwiches.

Strange to me.....

I spent alot of time in the carribean too, but I think they had ice.
