Someone this weekend posed the question: Does seeing second base count as getting there? Well, of course it does not. You can buy all the picture books you want of France and see every angle there is to the Eiffel Tower, but that doesn’t mean you’ve been to France. You need to feel France. Touch France. Smell France. Dance in France.
Just my two cents.
It’s also said that one is not a connoisseur of fine meat until one has eaten in France.
Can you also motor boat France?
You can definitely motor boat in France, but you’ll need to snack on wine and cheese first.
