How I Spent My Summer Vacation: Day 6

The beach at Le Toquet was incredibly wide at low tide. There was as much beach going to the water behind me as there is facing the land.

was hot this night. They crushed 6 - 0. But they were themselves crushed when they got back to their buses to learn that Jamaica(?) had inexplicably upset someone to knock them out of the Second Round.

The French loved watching Stoichkov have a dismal game. By halftime he was merely wandering around. He did not come back for the second half. Near the end of the game all the French stood up and lustily bellowed - "Allez Le Blues!" . I didn't learn until after I returned home that they were relishing watching Bulgaria go down in humiliation after suffering the indignity of having Bulgaria keep them out of USA '94 with a last minute goal (Stoichkov) in the final qualifying game. They chanted for more than 10 minutes.

Allez Le Blues!
