He laid out the facts, thanked the helpers, admitted mistakes, stated how we're learning from them, and spoke of the future and how what we've learned will carry into it, as one nation united. Very moving and powerful, not him but the French people.
Vive la France!

At this point we have a mailbox, a cellphone, and bank accounts in the US.
We miss our friends, books, records and CD's, good aluminum foil, and really good food(not everywhere in France has great food).
