We just got home from two weeks in france. Success. No pickpockets, no strikes, no scams. We adopted the "france and/or european" attitude and we were never approached. In fact, a spanish couple asked me if I was spanish, french or english, since I was able to use a few spanish and french words and we spoke quietly in public..
Big THANK YOU to all who answered all my questions. Merci Beaucoup!!!!!

laura, Glad to hear that you had such a great time! I'm sure you'll have lots of great tips to pass on at the next Sacramento ETBD meeting. On a related note, one of these days I'd like to find a Panera Bread to find out what the attraction is.

@ Ken, Laura hasn't joined us at one of our meetings...yet. I hope she can come and tell us about her trip. The "attraction" of Panera is free wifi and a casual atmosphere. No servers bothering us because we have been there so long. @ Laura, we meet every 3rd Saturday of the month at the Panera Bread in North Natomas, near the Target store. Someone always posts a reminder a week or so before the meeting under the General Europe heading. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
