Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges.

So how much do I know French? Just enough to sing a few songs, understand some simple written text and say a few sentences. Just enough to ask in correct French if the other party, please, speaks English.

He had also written the school hymn. He was very stern with us and made us study like crazy. You made one tiny mistake,
