Bastogne, B | 13 June 2001 |
The big deal in this town isn't bicycle racing (which is why I was there). The big deal here is war tourism. Apparently, this area (much of Belgium actually) was rocked pretty hard by world wars. This town in particular seems to have been liberated by US troops in a tough battle. The Belgians here are very American friendly. US flags everywhere, etc. |
