You can still see tons of fortifications there. - Victor Hugo (Les Miserables, etc.) used to write there.

Because of the currents, it's a much more sunny and (almost) tropical sort of climate. - Cornell and Penn college students hold the majority of the track records there, so I can't imagine that their Commonwealth teams are too formidable. I am a fortress of useless information. Miss you guys, and safe travels to you, Bri. Give a ring if you have a moment when you're back in Florida. DT
