Walked and took public transportation the entire time. I didn't notice bad drivers, but I couldn't have imagined driving because I was too busy looking at everything. I would have had a dozen accidents in the first hour if I'd driven.<BR/><BR/>Lisa - oh, yeah. Me too, pal. I think the Corolla is too small. Maybe a Camry... And yes, you need a passport. Get one now. Then when Prof. X and I move to our rental gite you can come visit.Fantastic Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044290192610027408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-89439455200157613982009-03-04T19:03:00.000-08:002009-03-04T19:03:00.000-08:00I'm whimpering with desire.

I want to go back to France in the worst way.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I built up enough speed - got a good running start, could I jump the Atlantic in the little Toyota Corolla?<BR/><BR/>And would I need a passport?
