Azi merg împreună cu Laura în vizită la Ambasadorul Franţei, ES Henri Paul, pentru o ediţie specială “Bună ca viaţa”. Nu mergem cu mâna goală, ci cu brânzeturile recomandate de voi (coşuleţ, Nasal, Penteleu, La Coline) şi cu două vinuri româneşti remarcabile: Shyraz (2003) de la Nachbil şi Fetească Neagră (2004) de la DaVino. Să vedem dacă i-or plăcea.

La France éternelle

There is a story about a conversation between General de Gaulle, who, as president of the French Republic, telephoned his American counterpart Lyndon B Johnson, to inform him that France had decided to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty alliance.

Since its foundation nearly two decades earlier, NATO had had its headquarters in France. Now NATO would have to move.

Furthermore, de Gaulle added, it was his intention that all American service personnel should be removed from French soil.

“Does that include,” Johnson is said to have replied, “those buried in it?”

Ouch.
