She apparently landed in Paris (I wonder if the airport was that horrible back then too), and then she immediately headed for of all places . . . ALSACE. Kind of weird to learn that your grandmother visited the same places back in the early 1970's that you lived. She went to the same restaurant that Patrick and I went to on our last day in France, the Crocodile - she had rack of lamb. She went down the wine route and found Riquewihr charming - shocking. And she made some passing comments about the huge Cathedral - no surprises there. Best part was that she was totally dissing on the other people on the tour with her traveling companion - so catty, I loved it.
