I was leading a group of 25 Americans on a bike tour through a narrow passage when suddenly, we found ourselves in the middle of a very serious Petanque tournament. As an American, I'm more familiar with Bocce ball myself, but this league of 70+ Petanque players were so beside themselves that none of us knew how to play, that they took it upon themselves to teach us all. And, best of all, the Bocce ball team all had their bota bag filled with table wine and engraved with their pueblo's team name. If only I was a good enough negotiator in catalan to have gotten my hands on one of those ;-)Gabriella Opazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446489631141921802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37542126.post-25512938984044890822008-06-27T11:52:00.000-04:002008-06-27T11:52:00.000-04:00You got to love a good Viogneir and a game of Peta...You got to love a good Viogneir and a game of Petanque!
