Meeting Our Friends, the Enemy, Here in Florida-- Part 1

And, we've met them before, but this is the first time during the War of 1812's bicentennial.

First, it was all of the French Canadians from what I now know to be Lower Canada, in the Hollywood, Florida, area.  As of yet, I am not sure whose side they were on during the War of 1812.  I'm sure they didn't like the British, but also don't think they would have liked to be a part of the United States either.

In Hollywood, I like to say that English is a second language, with a lot of stuff posted in both French and English.  The motels are sure to post that they speak French.

You see a lot of Quebec license plates.
