It is indeed a very moving place. You reminded me that I need to take my daughters there.<br /><br />A few years ago, in Cannes, I walked off the beach with my husband and three daughters...we discovered a grand American parade. The parade celebrated the anniversary of the of Cannes by allied forces on August 24, 1944. Men wore American army uniforms, women were dressed as nurses, and young men and women in forties-style dresses and suits danced the jitterbug in the streets. American jeeps, ambulances, and side cars festooned with red, white and blue ribbons inched along the street. American flags were everywhere. The whole crowd sang, "God Bless America." I don't think I've ever felt so American, or so in love with France! Happy fourth of July, dear Polly. Paris isn't the same without you!<br /><br />God Bless America,<br /><br />XO PatriciaParisRhapsodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-89161785385317451642008-01-17T09:13:00.000-05:002008-01-17T09:13:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip!
