      Another vote for "they just like it stronger in the south". I also found that to be true when I walked the VDLP. Luckily, I like my coffee very strong so I was a happy walker.

      Warning for those flying in to France -- there's a strike tomorrow April 25th, which likely will NOT prevent flying in or out of the country on international flights, but is very likely to affect flights between Paris and Bayonne and other...

      JabbaPapa replied to the thread What's changed?.
      Roman Jubilee years occur every 25 years, and they are unrelated to either this or that Pope or with other Jubilees or Holy Years in other Sanctuaries. It is not a universal Jubilee year as the Year of Mercy was, it's just the normal Roman...
