We were all up early.  I took off at 9 am to pickup the rental car.  I finally found the place at 10:15.  They wanted to give me a bmw 1 series.  I walked over and realized it was going to too small.  So i walked back to the rental car counter and told them i  needed a 7 passenger loke the one i reserved.  They fonally gave me a 7 passengerer Renault.  They handed me the key and told me where to find the car.  I wandered around thatgarage for 30 minutes.  All of a sudden i realized they had given me keys to a fu___ing car which wasnt fu__ing there.  I felt like Steve Martin.  Well i did finally find it. 
I picked up bunny ben and scott and soon we were leaving Paris.  We recaped the things we saw and the things we missed.  Hopefully we will be able to get back and see some of the stuff we missed.  But what a wonderful city. 
Once out of paris we ran into heavy traffic.  They had shit down a big part of the major highway we were using to get  to our next destnation.  We foundourselves on backroads in a line of cars that was over 5 miles long.  No kidding.  It took us an extra 2 1/2 hoirs toget to frehand- voltarewhich is near Genevabut still in France.  Once we got thru the backup we felt pretty luck because the line of cars goinv to other way must have been 15 miles long.  No kidding.  Those people are probably still not home.  The stereoin the car has bluetooth.  So we were able to hook up my cell phone and lsren to Episofes of The Colbert Report.  I know we were the only ones in that line smiling and laughing.
We finally arrivedat our place for the night.  Went into town and had chinese food and came home.  Looking foward to getting to Venice tomorrow.  Happy 4th of July to everyone back home. No fireworks for us this year.
