Did you hear about the 600 mile long picnic the French are having today? There was a piece on public radio yesterday morning about it. Sounds like fun. To keep the sense of unity and community, they (whoever they are) were passing out identical tablecloths to everyone that wanted to participate. I'm not sure if they were trying to make a continuous picnic for real or just in spirit. I think each region was going to be celebrating their differences by featuring the foods of their area.
Too bad I can't afford to fly over for the weekend. A 600 mile long picnic in France would be something to experience.
