I know there are some of you that read my blog that don’t regularly check out my flickr page. I already put this picture on said page, but don’t want you to miss out on it. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: Only in France (or in Belgium as the case may be, since that is where I took the picture…).

But “America”, as they call the U.S. here, isn’t left out of the fun!

Here is another shot that shows just how American this toboggan is:

But wait, toboggan is spelled differently at the top of the slide than it is on the trailer… T-o-b-o-g-a-n…isn’t that French for Toboggan? Hey…this isn’t an American toboggan at all!
