The only time I met Vivianne, she was quite pleasant. She is biased with
reason. She lives in France and is likely more French than American by
now. That's her problem not ours. I enjoy Alsace because it isn't really
French. The Alsatians are Alsatian first and French second. Read their
history. They have been German in odd years and French in even.
Patronizing?? I can show you patronizing. Neither her comment to me nor
mine to her was patronizing. I don't expect to change you or your like
anyway.
BTW, we just spent a day in Gruyere. They speak French, German, English,
and God knows what without looking down their noses at anyone.
