I've bought my ticket for France, God help me. Used my credit card and the miles I'd accumulated from last year's trip to the States. I'm leaving on July 2 and arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle the same day (around 6:40 p.m.), then leaving Paris on July 6 on a 2:40 p.m. flight. Auguste's wedding is on the 4th, which also happens to be the US's 250th birthday. I'm going to try to keep my head down while I'm in France; I've become a lot less sociable over the past few years, and it remains true, like a cosmic law, that no tourist should ever talk politics with the French. I don't want to be a burden on anyone, either, so I'll do what I can to keep quiet and keep away, but I suspect I'm going to be sucked into various activities. If it's wedding prep, that's fine: it'll be good to be useful.
I'm waiting on responses from my brothers to see whether they might be interested in attending the wedding with me, but I doubt either brother will say yes... if they say anything at all. They tend to be uncommunicative.
