Despite what most people think about the French, they were actually VERY friendly. They were very kind to us, even though they knew we were American…and even put up with my poor French! We only met one person who was rude to us on our entire stay. He was complaining about us en Francais…unlucky for him we understood, and one of my companions was fluent enough to tell him what we thought about his rudeness. LOL
Other than tha one negative experience, we had a FABULOUS time! So many amazing things to see that there just aren’t enough words to cover it all. If you want to travel the world, you MUST see France!

When I first went to Europe, I was blown away by Germany. It’s a beautiful country, and everyone there bent over backwards to be nice, friendly and completely welcome us. I felt like I was right at home everywhere we went.
A cruise on the Rhine is excellent, and I highly recommend Rothenberg. Amazing and picturesque!!

Belgium is such a beautiful country. The cities (large and small) are stunning, and everywhere I went the people were welcoming and friendly.

Louisville is the perfect place to live. You get the opportunities for things to do, culture, meeting people of a bigger city, but the closeness of a small-town. There’s southern hospitality, you’re close to the country so you can be out in the great outdoors very quickly…even if you can’t go out of town there are gorgeous parks all over the city.

There are tons excellent NON-CHAIN restaurants that rival any larger city, and who else has the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Derby Festival?

I’ve traveled all around the country, and I’m not really sure I could live in any other state. :) Most people here are nice and friendly. I live in a city, but can be out in the country pretty quickly so you can have the best of both worlds.
