My body is where I live. I have dieted and exercised over 400 lbs off over the last 35 years, only to regain whatever I lost plus more. I seem to have a chronic problem with weight, body image, and food. But I have decided not to imprison my life within my home. Please have some basic courtesy and human feeling when you see someone different from you.
Travel is supposed to open our minds.
It certainly opened my eyes. We did not encounter one rude or arrogant French person on our entire trip. Our guide on a side trip to Normandy and Giverny was very friendly and informative. I had never used the Internet before to make travel arrangements, however, everything was perfect. They were waiting on us at everyplace that we reserved.
