Who wears short shorts?

Today was the first time I've worn shorts in my community and you would have thought I was walking around naked with the amount of stares and random things said to me in french. I even had a whole group of women move to the opposite side of the road and stare at my legs like they've never seen a pair before. My host family even laughed at me when I walked in for lunch today, but they understand how hot it is for me and why I decided to bust out the shorts finally. I just decided that it's stupid to be miserably hot and I already pay enough attention to be culturally sensitive, so by God I'm going to wear shorts because I'm an American and that's what we do. Now if only I could find a hot dog to eat while I wear shorts, that's truly American! Guess I got the spirit of the 4th of July in me.

To America and the freedom of hot legs everywhere! To shorts!
