Just watched the June 9, 1973 Belmont Stakes featuring Big Red:

First Triple Crown winner since Citation, 1948.
Still holds the track record for all three Triple Crown races 53 years on.
Cover of Time, Sports Illustrated and Newsweek. Much needed in those years of domestic challenges.
Give it a look. You will see true greatness.

“Best Pizza & Brew” - Did it all come as one order? If so, that’s bliss!

Indeed it did. This particular area has a large number of breweries/restaurants. This is the first time I’ve had their beer, but the pizza is some of my favorite. We get it every time. One is a burrata, sausage and hot honey. The other is a white pizza with ricotta, pepperoni and pesto.

Hot honey is killer on pizza.

On tour to the Pyrenees.
Stopped in Normandy first, which is a lovely part of France and especially resonant for many because of the D-Day beaches.

We stayed in this;

There was reasoning to the choice.
The owners are renovating a village - which dates back several centuries, see here; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFi9-IkCwEepam7cNojvdsA
and we're following their progress.

Lots of roof action for @JohnInCarolina

Now we're here, near Carcassone and looking towards Andorra.
