This afternoon, we ran across this horse that, for no apparent reason, seems to grow out of a wall in the old town of Antibes. In remembrance of D-Day, I had wanted to show the war memorial with the French, American, and British flags, but it’s near Cannes, and that’s not where we were today. Still, it is worth mentioning that the French, especially our generation and the one before, are still tremendously grateful to those who liberated France. TV crews interviewed American veterans participating in the D-Day commemorative festivities in Normandy; they said they were stunned that French men and women would spontaneously walk up to them, shake their hands, and say thank you. The French did have a problem with the Bush administration, but then again, so did I.
