The Universal Language of ... bowling?

Yes, this is France.





Yes, the french bowl, and yes, I went Bowling in France. Bowling is apparently quite new to the french and as you can see from the photo they are quite Americanized (is that a word?). Actually, everything inside is in English - except for language spoken by everyone in it.

William and I also played a round of pool, or a version of it rather. It was nice to do something familiar, and it turns out that i'm no better a pool player in France than I am in America. Oh, well.

And it turns out that global warming is happening everywhere, not just in St. Louis - who would of thought? It's April and it snowed the other night. Big huge snow flakes. It was kind of surreal. This is apparently not the norm for France at this time of year - even for the North of France. The pool that is sitting in the back yard is usually open by now.

Unfortunately, I think I am starting to come down with a cold, as I am sneezing every 5 minutes. Good thing I packed the airborn.

Okay, Robin is patiently waiting for me to go play badmiton (?)with him. Thats all for now. More later.

Hey Nicole, bowling? In France? You are supposed to be doing French things.....like drinking wine or stomping grapes (no, that's Italy??) or eating pastries...not bowling! Anyway, thanks for blogging.

Dang I was at Saratoga Lanes last Thursday and saw your team! But don't know any of them. I was subbing for some other team, and I was like one of the best bowlers on their team that night.
