American's Back - Pontarlier

Don't ask me about the spelling- don't get it either.

Anyhow, today we went shopping in Pontus (the local name) and we decided to try this new place. Huge hangar with Typical Route 66, Harley, Corvette, Mustang, etc- posters- red plastic seats - like a big diner. With of course, lots of burgers and 1000 calories desserts. Not bad ...

Just thought I'd mention it in case some of you are desperate for stuff from back home in the US- they have a small shop in entrance with all that awful Pink Fluff stuff, multicolored marshmallow breakfast stuff, several types of American peanut butter, incl the one with chocolate, Jack Daniel BBQ sauces and marinades, several USA beers and fluorescent drinks, etc, etc, and a box full of metal mural decos- again Route 66, Ready for Service, and the like. Oh and those multicolored canes you put on Christmas trees!

Much the same as Cindy's Diners, then?

I was there in the townships when Winnie provoked violence, and witnessed it first-hand. Not a pretty site when someone is encompassed within a tyre, and set alight.
