Go America!

You know what, French swim team? If you're going to talk trash, make sure you back it up with a win.
USA! USA!

Of course, I've had issues with the French ever since they made the Peanuts gang sleep outside that creepy chateau in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown.

I love Snoopy.

I guess they may as well try

I've never been to the Netherlands, but I doubt that all of France will fit in The Hague.

Last night, I went to a Bastille Day party at Bistrot du Coin. Since it's a French restaurant, I thought they'd have a whole French experience for us to enjoy. Well, I must have missed when France invaded and conquered Colombia, because they definitely played Juanes at about 11:00, right when the party was in full swing. The only thing I could think of was that it could be an odd tribute to Betancourt? Although the number of people who would be able to make that connection after a couple of drinks must be rather low, even in this city.
The night wasn't a total loss, however; I met someone named "Gaston."
