executing a war, I think is what you mean. The pix of sheep reminds me of one of my trips through Montana and Idaho. Stanley

That is kinda difficult especially at speed on corners. The citadel is a fortress originally built on orders from Louis XIV. It has been beat up quit a bit since then. The French love it because in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 the Citadel held out against the Prussians even after all the rest of France surrendered (big surprise). Prussians still whooped the French and the Citadel. The Prussians left the Citadel in 1918 (huh). They came back a few years later with a swastika. Allies beat/bombed the crap out of the place and the French surrendered the fort for last time in 1945. In 1960 the fort was given back to the townspeople. It's now a museum with a "Garden of Peace" right below the southside walls. The French are much better at sueing for peace than prosecuting a war so the garden seemed appropriate. Awesome countryside. Awesome villiage; they really make great coffee and bread. joey --- On Mon, 9/7/09, Creative Residential Designs <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Creative Residential Designs <[email protected]> > Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Awesome ride yesterday > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, September 7, 2009, 10:32 AM > > PICTURES! > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joseph Letourneau" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 07, 2009 3:42 AM > Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Awesome ride yesterday > > > > > Took the 93 NH750 out through the Rhineland Pfalz region > (Germany) towards > France, over into the Vogues Mt's and through the old > Maginot Line.
