Paris

Inna and I just got back a few days ago from visiting Paris over Memorial Day. I'll be honest, I didn't give much thought, or thanks for that matter, for the soldiers who gave their lives for our country. But I was proud of our country when I saw videos and pictures of our troops helping liberate the French from the Nazi's during World War 2. This was displayed in the World War 2 section of the Invalides Museum we visited, not far from the Eiffel Tower. I was also reminded in an earlier part of the museum how the French helped free us from the rule of the British during the American revolution. Most of us know that the French were the ones that gave us the Statue of Liberty, sometime in the early 19th century. What most people don't know, however, is that they have their own miniature Statue of Liberty standing in one of Paris' rivers (the name escapes me!). This is a picture I got of it while seeing it by train.
