"Just talking about your intro to the story Al and I have done.

wasn't the French school holidays while we were there but it did seem to be the week that every single bloody school in America had a trip to Paris. Hundreds of tourists as always in Paris (apparently it's the biggest tourist destination in the whole of Europe) but most of them seemed to be 15 or 16 year old Americans. We went past the mini Liberty while on a boat trip and it was probably the thing they took most photos of out of the entire journey. Never mind the Eiffel Tower or the Louvres or Notre Dame, the Liberty statue seemed to be their fave thing. "
