Don't forget there's the 'Medals of Honor for everyone' day, or 'Veracruz' day.

That is one nice picture Jim ...

I wonder if they still have the San Jacinto Inn nearby it was at the head of the park and had a sweet deal on Sunday of all the chicken you could eat for the price of one meal.

I've no idea I'm afraid, we left in a small convoy to go to some diner on a highway and I wasn't driving so that is all I know

They were afraid you would use the wrong side of the road.

What was more concerning was the fact I tried to order chips with my meal only to be reminded that they were what we call crisps in the UK....fries were the correct term apparently

And that's why we learn English and American in school. So actually I speak two foreign languages.
