thirteen: flemish cowboys

i don't know why the southwest is so popular with flemish people but i hear flemish everywhere... there's a vtb bus doing the same route that i am doing and i see them constantly... but also a lot of people who have rented a car... there i am in the grand canyon filming the majesty thinking i am the only one there and suddenly i hear two west flemish guys talk under the rock i am standing on... funny.. but you see them everywhere... typically flemish: a bit shy and giving silent comment... still the world is small...

i watched the kim clijsters vs venus williams game. cool. didn't think kim would win.

on a note: michelle the half navajo guide and some other people told me that the majority of the people visiting this area are european or from down under. more so than americans. they say it's striking that there are so many more europeans interested in this part of the country than americans...
