Verdun There

We did have some great duck and wine in Paris for dinner...

Left Paris early and grabbed some bread, cheese and meat for the train. The train went as far as Châlon-en-Champagne and then we switched to a bus to Verdun. Arrived in Verdun around 3 pm and grabbed a room at the first hotel we saw. Walked around town, very nice, hard to imagine this town saw so much conflict. Had a wonderful dinner of steak and ham and a dessert I dont know how to pronounce. Went to the microbrewery till midnight and had some excellent French beer. (Ed and G.Nome got a bit too rowdy at the bar.)

Everyone has been incredibly nice and accommodating to our poor language skills. Thank goodness for that, as very few people speak English here!

Verdun sounds fascinating! Can't wait to see photos. So glad the people are welcoming.
So you hit a microbrewery...no surprise there. What do you mean Ed got 'rowdy'? I just saw photographic proof that he was flat on his face and unable to be rowdy...bet it was G.Nome.

I think Ed is totally innocent and not drunk or rowdy at all.
He probably listened when you ordered your food and heard you say "duck', so he did.
