I told a friend how much I'd enjoyed it when I got back and he said, "You must have a high tolerance for boredom." He obviously misunderstood what I was trying to tell him, which was that it was a place with an incredible history that I really enjoyed learning about while I was there. Had it not been for the dog show I probably never would have heard of French Lick, or at least never thought of it as a place I'd like to go, but I went with an open mind and discovered it had so much to offer.
