A few other notes. A lot of the Blood Islands are covered in dirt. On my boat trip that went north of there, there was a big island that was all rock and it was much more dramatic and obvious how these islands get their reddish color. I don't think the color showed up that well in my photos. I'll post a few after I finish this and see. I was also curious to go to that little shopping plaza we've seen her at. I was curious to see what the main attraction was, but it was probably just a place she likes to do some of her shopping and might be easier to get to instead of driving into Ajaccio if you can get to it without driving that way. So I got a lot done, but left a lot open which gives me reason to go back again and I'm sure there will be another trip. As far as seeing Alizée, it never really bothered me that she may never have been there while I was there. I know she went off apparently on another photo shoot and I don't know if she ever came back while I was there. But I was tres, tres happy on this whole trip, I think mainly because of having my travel privileges back. Even if she was there, the odds of seeing her are very small and I found back in 2013 I think it was when she returned here after Les Enfoires instead of going back to Paris, I didn't want to leave downtown Ajaccio for the fear of missing her. The fact that I never had an opportunity on this trip, may bother me now more that I'm back and have time to reflect, than it did while I was there. But it was a great trip for me. Edit: Again having issues with Photobucket. They are down for site maintenance. I just signed up for Flickr, but that's a different animal I have to learn.

I was thinking of sending the Chez Paulo family some type of gift for the great way they treated me while I was over there. I wanted to get something particular to this country. I thought of some of those packages of cheese and sausage you see a lot of around Christmas time, but one company I was looking at wont ship to France because it takes about 2 weeks to get there.
Also where the restaurant serves a lot of drinks I'm sure, maybe getting a select bottle of something like Kentucky bourbon, but it's very difficult to have something like that shipped overseas. Maybe some candy????

I'd like to be of help. I agree that something distinctively American would be appropriate, so I've made a list: A Donald Trump T-Shirt A Confederate flag made in China A bag of fortune cookies (They were invented in USA) A box of Freedom Fries A plastic Jesus for their dashboard An autographed photo of Miley Cyrus on the wrecking ball A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on Wonder Bread A package of Twinkies A bottle of California wine (I recommend Thunderbird) Mom and apple pie One of the Kardashians or Honey Boo Boo A U.S. Marine armed with an M-16A1 with a banana clip A pocket sized copy of the Constitution A Buffalo  Last edited by Shepherd; 05-22-2016 at 01:49 AM..

I got a good laugh out of reading your list. As far as a confederate flag made in China. There are several shops in Ajaccio that sell the Moor's head flag and they are all made in China. In fact, most of the souvenirs there are made in China. Wonder bread was my favorite growing up. I wouldn't ship a Kardashian to my worst enemy.

I think the problem is solved. I couldn't find a way to have a certain product shipped from this country, but I've found a way in which I can have a French "store" that stocks include American made products, do what I'm looking to have done. It's a possibility it could be a store in Ajaccio that can do it. I'll know if I get a return message to my e-mail, but more likely it will be a store in Paris.

The bottle of American whiskey I bought for the Chez Paulo family arrived today in Ajaccio. The store where I bought it did not include the note I wrote, so as soon as I saw it arrived, I sent a message via FB saying it was a small gift thanking them for the way her and her family had treated me during my stay in Ajaccio.
I soon got a return message.... Merci beaucoup pour ce cadeau de plus un très bon whisky c vraiment très gentil nous sommes très touchés si quelque chose vous ferez plaisir nous serions très content de vous l envoyer toutes nos amicales salutations which Google translates to... Thank you for this gift of more than a good whiskey c really nice we are very affected if you do something fun we would be very happy to send you the our friendly greetings The first part of the message I understand, but not quite the second part.
