<HTML>Hi kpp,
Thanks for the note Paris ? ok what little I saw of it in 5 hours - Sacre Coeur - Eifel Tower - Arc de Triumphe etc & lots of the metro (u-bahn with rubber wheels). Always another time for a beer but would prefer Kempinski (?) [Berlinerweise mit schuss] and a close look at the Brandenburg Tor - last time I was there it was in the DDR
The Flag - well it is original as far as I am aware and would have been flown from the stern of a warship. Its black white red with the Iron cross and swastika and it came from a Deutsche Botschaft and was given to me by an ex U-bootmann. The colours are still good as it has been kept in the dark for the last 30 years and has never, to my knowledge, been washed.
Hope you enjoyed your holiday
Best wishes
