Zach is still alive...here's the proof ;-)

I'm back...sorry I haven't been on here for a couple days, its been slightly crazy but totally awesome.  We did finally fix the doctor situation, and so far I have been extremely impressed with the French medical service.  Now getting to the hospital was quite an experience and involved a  lot of u-turns and 'recalculating' by the gps but we got to one eventually and that is what matters.  The doctor was great and spoke good English, so i got a shot and a prescription for some antibiotics and have been improving ever since.  I've seen so many amazing things in the past few days, the most amazing of which was the American Cemetery here in Normandy.  I literally cried like a baby for about 45 minutes, it was the most sobering experience of my life and put things in a new perspective for me in regards to freedom and it's cost.  After we put out about 250 TN flags on the graves of the soldiers who were from Tennessee and were buried there, i felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride and almost felt connected to that hallowed ground for a moment.  We have seen several things since then, including castles, monuments, cathedrals, double-decker merry-go-rounds, and ancient architecture.  Here are some more pictures for your personal viewing pleasure, hope you enjoy...
