A story by Robert Carse about the Legion in Mexico and the Battle of Camarón. It’s about a survivor of the battle and his subsequent part in making history (and romance). Saturday, 30 April, is Camarone Day. I’ve bought some Kronenbourg to celebrate since I really could not find any Algerian pinard up here in Wisconsin. (Edited 29 April to correct my faulty internal Calendar)

Mon Legionnaire 
I am always game for a road trip to old Mexico. You can check out Cameron on Google Map.

Old Mexico would be nice. It was a nice place to visit even in the late 1990’s. Visiting Mexico nowadays would be frightening. Too many sicko criminal thugs for my taste.
