Photographs from our trip to France in April 2011

I've cut the photos down to snapshot size for ease of viewing, but the actual image sizes are much larger. If you want to get a better idea of what things really looked like, you can right-click or Control-click on the photo in your Web browser and select "Save image as" (so you can save it to your computer and open it in your favorite viewer) or "Open in new window/tab"; if that doesn't automatically display the image at full size, you can zoom in on the image (usually an option under the View menu) to enlarge it.
