Hahaha! Long ago and aside from the location it most likely had little to do with France! The sidewalks were crowded and there was a 🚧 construction area where repairs were being made. A woman walked right into me and then in a language that was not French grabbed my hands and began apologizing. People were crowding me from behind and I didn't notice until I got on the metro that the zipper on my purse had been opened. My 2nd credit card was with my cash in a pouch hanging around my neck inside my blouse, so it was easy to recover from and became a good travel story. No apologies are necessary and I have SO many fabulous experiences of France and the people there that there would be absolutely nothing that could cause me to think poorly of France! I should write up some of the stories of the good times and the people I met.

yes absolutely ! I love your stories and the way you tell them !
and mostly, you lived such a rich and zestful life (I didn't want to use the past tense here, but how to grammatically do differently ? πŸ˜†) so you have tons of interesting experiences to share with us ! and I could really imagine your grandkids collecting and doing a book with all these wonderful stories !! 😍
