So we are taught to "love everyone," which is good and true. BUT, there's just something about French tourists that rub me the wrong way. Maybe it's because a large majority of the 1,000,000+ people that visit Lake Powell, are French. I think it's also the way they treat those of us being nice and helping them. I don't blame most of them for not knowing very much English, because we don't have any right to force that upon them or expect that. Although, I've even been in a situation where two French men were standing right in front of me and a co-worker (which they didn't know she spoke French) and were saying such rude, derogatory, and sexist comments right in front of us. After working out at the lake for several years now, I've definitely had my fair share in dealing with the French. Don't get me wrong, they are our brothers and sisters too, and I'm sure they have a sweet spirit too...but they are the ones that don't visit Lake Powell.
So today I came across this great article put on by msn.com and all I have to say is...
AMEN!!
read on, dear friends.

This reminds me of days on the river...
just remember, the english tried to kill and conquer the french over and over again so to them, to speak english is sort of turning their back on their people - kinda like walking on an american flag would be to anyone in the u.s.
aimons ils quand même ;)
