That would be a lot of fun. I'd really like to go, but it's a fairly far distance from Oregon (5200 mi / 8400 km) and... I would wind up spending my time in the Belgian breweries.

It's always an interesting comparison. For most Europeans, 200 km is quite a long way. For Americans, 200 years is a very long time.

Distance from Paris to New Orleans: 4814.7 Miles (air).
Distance from San Antonio to Lafayette: 415 miles or 668 km (driving).
Distance from Portland to Lafayette is 2,503 miles or 4 028km (driving)

John, you really live a long way from Louisiana!

As Hondo Crouch, the Mayor of Luckenbach used to say, "New York will never amount to anything, it's to far away from here!"

200 years used to seem like a long time to me when I was 20;
Now that I'm 70, it doesn't seem that long.

Marc, vous devez aller voir votre instructeur.
Qu'est-ce que c'est un peu Voyage?

Haha.. so true! I started in Louisiana. Grew up in Shreveport. Guess that since by most accounts (in Louisiana), the Mason Dixon line goes through Alexandria, that I'm a northerner. I'd dispute that though.

I've driven across the U.S. a couple times and I always amazed at the distances. It's quite a thing to consider the folks who bloody WALKED from out east to the west. Them were some tough folks.

I told my wife about the Virton thing and she said we should go as long as there would be dance workshops. Alas, none of those and the accordion class is full.
