opposite. It is much more modern .
than London, the streets are wide

The people are very friendly. I
had four invitations to have supper
with them but I declined, knowing
the food situation as I do. A
French newspaper describes us as
having a tan outdoor complexion,
broad shoulders, and an easy-going
nature that they like. They
were used to the robotness of the
German soldier. They.Uke the way
we walk down the street, not like
the Germans who were always in
