The tagline at the top kinda caught my attention: 

Quote
These stones mark 200 years of friendship between Britain and France following the Napoleonic Wars.

"Friendship" seems like a rather...strong word to use in this instance.  On the other hand, it's a lot shorter/simpler than "not actively trying to tear each other's throats out".  :D

You know, I thought of Jim when I was in Geiranger, Norway a  couple of weeks ago. I came across this monument to the people who lost their lives in the Napoleonic Wars (and WWII).



I also thought of Bob when I was in Heathrow airport and bought these:

...an imperfectly-shaped quadrangle of four modestly-sized villages, namely Grossgoerschen (southeast corner), Kleingoerschen (northeast corner), Rahna (southwest corner), and Kaja (northwest corner).

I love European place names. It's fun to make up little stories about them. In this case, Grossgoerschen fast-talking his brother, Kleingoerschen into double-dating with the stewardess twins, Rahna and Kaja.

This is funny.

Plus, that's my line.

Travels in Europe ~ Leipzig & The East, Part 3
The Battle of Bautzen is now at the top of my list of Napoleonic battles that no one studies and everyone should.
Here is some preliminary reading on today’s topic {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bautzen_(1813)}.  There will be a quiz.

A QUIZ?!?
