This weekend we decided to drive toward the northeastern part of France. We drove thru miles and miles of farm land with many war monuments throughout the land. The weather today was absolutely gorgeous, sunny, and high in the upper 40’s. We explored the city of Verdun, with its old Roman walls, old gates still standing which were part of walls surrounding the city in war times, and its many statues and monuments in tribute to the many war heros. We spent the night in Verdun (intending to stay at a chateau, but they were full) and ate at a very nice French restaurant.
We returned to the hotel, stopped in the bar, and what music do you think they were playing? “The Duck (Chicken), sung in French”.
