Going to France tomorrow - SHOULD I BE WORRIED

Thats where my family is from. There's nothing terribly interesting in Caen, save for some really old armories or forts, I think. We didn't do too much touristy shit - just showed up for dinner often. ^_^

The American and German cemetaries won't be far from where you'll be - and if you and your chick have time (like, a day), stop over at Mont-Saint-Michel. Its a really awesome place to visit.

As for the people - talk in French as best you can. They WILL laugh at you because you're American. Believe me. Try to be polite, and roll with the punches.

Enjoy the vast fields and pastures, by the way. And the shore line out there is pretty decent. A little rough, but you have the....uh, what do you call them....the place...where the water comes in....like locks....I forget the word. But awesome food.

You'll find you've never had anything as good as their butter over there. <3

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's actually not very close. A few hours driving - it's in Brittany - another region. But its WORTH the drive, man.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
