I'm going to pass on responding to your many wise comments about abortion and go directly to wishing you bon voyage! Have a wonderful time in the most beautiful city in the world, among the arrogant and sophisticated and full of joie de vivre Parisians (although men in suits bare-handedly carrying bread home for dinner modified both the arrogance and sophistication somewhat). It was a pleasure hearing them speak their beautiful language. I met people who liked Americans and some who didn't, and had a wonderful time when I was there many years ago. Plus, they take very good care of their art. Enjoy! Debra Shea
