Hello troopers!
I've just completed a most amazing troop here in France with my French 501st brothers. My wife and I stayed in Ales for l'Espace dans ma Ville and where I appeared as Threepio for the children of the camp and the kids at the hospital. After the week was over, Dawn and I spent another week in the South of France visiting several cities and the coast. This was our first trip to Europe and we found the French people to be warm, helpful and most generous. Fred SPAD and Catherine DEXTER drove 6 hours to drive me to lunch, Denis Kilroy FR brought his daughters' amazing costumes, Paul Rocca opened his home to us, and Christophe Impines rescued me from certain destruction several times. I wish I could have met the entire garrison, so I'll have to return soon! It was a wonderful experience we'll never forget. Photos and video coming soon, I'm sure.

Thanx for visiting us with your wife. We all really appreciated your kindness of both; it was definitively too short but you have to come back to visit Paris and north of france.
Hope to see you again maybe on celebration 5 (fingers crossed for east coast location !).
Stade de France/NRJ music Awards/Danse avec les Stars/SW Exhibitions etc...

J'ai déposé Chris et Dawn ce matin (très tôt) à l'aéroport, ils sont assez dégouté de rapartir card ils étaient très bien ici, mais leurs 4 enfants leur manquent énormément !
Ils espèrent vraiment pouvoir revenir bientôt, et remercient chaleureusement tous les troopers qu'ils ont pu rencontrer.
Dès que Chris arrivera chez lui, il viendra s'inscrire sur notre forum comme ça il pourra directement communiquer avec vous.
En attendant, vous pouvez poster ici et tout lui sera transmis par mes soins, promis.
