Rapid City is best known for its proximity to Mt. Rushmore and the four presidents carved into it. But the City of Presidents also features a walk where you can encounter more than 40 Presidents who have been the United States’ Commander-in-Chief. The art is interesting and the walk is a lot of fun.

The beautiful Gothic Cathedral in Seville, Spain was built on the site of a mosque. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and well worth a visit when in Andalusia.
That looks wonderful! How could I of gone 45 years without trying it?!
I don’t know, Rob! The cheese is less important to me than the gravy. French fries with gravy are commonly available in Canada. Beats ketchup or that mayonnaise-like stuff the Belgians use. It’s very filling and really hits the spot on a cold day, but is a meal all by itself.
And yet there are many Canadians who put their noses up at it! (including some of my Canadian relatives, I believe). The amazing thing is that it’s only a mid-20th century invention…what could have taken so long?
And to my amusement: When you read French newspapers, the leader of Russia is…Poutine!
PS…Imagine this served alongside a Franceschina in Porto!

OMG! I never would have thought of it as “red” food! But I think Vlad likely is more interested in caviar and young hookers than in potatoes with cheese and gravy!
