A busy day so no pictures. Just a very short post to express my gratitude that France, the land of my ancestors, dodged the right-wing bullet and rejected Marine Le Pen. Instead, they elected, by a wide margin, Emmanuel Macron, an enlightened Buddha compared with the xenophobic Le Pen.
Vive la France!
And for more about Sunday’s election, read Adam Nossiter’s excellent piece in the New York Times.
Notes From the Hinterland 
Vive La France indeed!! 🙂
Yes, yes!
Toujours vive la France.
Oui, oui!
Phew! I thought it was spreading world wide.
I know! What a relief.
Merci beaucoup to the French voters! (2/3 of them, anyway).
A big merci beaucoup!
Vraiment!
