Re: Popped by for a visit.

Was in Fort Bravo recently, in the middle of Europe's largest desert, looked a bit like where you guys were flying the flag. There they made many of the spaghetti westerns (l don't get it either ... itackas in spain) great day out though. No need to go to Canada to hear 'play me the song of death'. ...
