But there are changes afoot all over (the Swiss did it 4 years ago when the law was passed; bless the French for waiting until now until the law goes into effect). I'm gearing up for a right rant about it all. :-) Dear Claudia - as your posts keep me thinking about creative worlds to keep open and opening up! :-)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067391488336878220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547316294063297137.post-37067909849228303702014-08-08T14:58:37.238-04:002014-08-08T14:58:37.238-04:00How I am loving your posts, Anne!

Though, I bet it's a different (better?) life without the internets - at least for a while. I am truly thrilled that the little book I got is getting the kids started in their conquest of Paris. (When I was in Rome on a WT trip with Hilary we had a tour guide who insisted that we 'conquer' the city. Ever since then that expression has stayed with me.) I am appalled by your experience in the bank. Might there be a way to exist without a bank account? The indignities associated with opening one may just be too much. Even though I have an account in Germany (left over from my teenage years - for which I pay fees every quarter….) I basically never used it. I just got cash out of an ATM and even when I did use it, I had to get cash out first, deposit it etc. It's truly a circle of hell. As for the croissants, the Breton crepes etc. I envy you. Sending you love and adventure until you can re-emerge on the web.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419099637861425092noreply@blogger.com
