NATO Conference November 2004
Paris, France (here is the National Anthum-click pause when required)

This was my first NATO conference. Here are the people from other countries and my first NATO picture.

The hotel that I stayed at

A small room, but it suited the purpose

A little hard (some early pictures) but this is what I saw from the window of my hotel.

I went to go visit some friends of the family that live in Paris. They treated me like royalty.
Martine and Marcel Valette-thank you.

Next I went randomly around Paris and was basically setting the scene when I knew that I would be bringing Sharon here for a visit. Little did I know it would be only a year later that we would make the trip.
