Trouble with the American Embassy

Well, THAT got your attention, didn't it?! I got in trouble with the American Embassy this afternoon. You think I would have known not to, but it was such a beautiful shot and I snapped the picture without even thinking... So the gendarme (yes, they’re French and they’re guarding the American Embassy) ran over and made me delete it. He was very nice—didn’t speak English to me though—but made me scroll back and forth through the pictures a couple of times to be sure that I did delete it. It was a really good picture, too. I apologized and he said it was OK. (So if it was OK, then why didn’t he let me keep my picture?!?!) I guess I should’ve taken it from across the street (from where he may not have noticed) and he would’ve been in it… And I guess if I'd had a print camera, he would’ve taken my film! Yikes!!

(Sadly, pictures will not be posted after I get home...)
