WOW! It’s a hot time in the old town tonight!
Oh, boy, is the music all around this little burg today! Actually the music was heavy around Wednesday and there was an all-female anthro band that mama said was really amazing…a tuba, clarinet, horn, drums and trombone!
Then there is the lady who makes animals out of balloons (mama said one popped while she was making an animal and she just blew up another in seconds and finished off the creation without missing a trick), and there are, besides all the booths and food and drinks and entertainment, the famous French commandos. And let me tell you, you feel a whole lot better in crowds like these with commandos walking among them. Or so mama says. I have never personally seen a commando, whatever that is, but I know they are important and nice to have around for many reasons. They are like the USA Marines, except speak French and eat croissants, haha.
The beaches are packed–hardly space for a kitty, haha, but we’re not allowed. Hey, water sports are NOT my thing anyway, so more room for the bakers. Mama wonders often if anyone wears sunscreen because there are so many pink people!
And here are all of the family and visitors, taken by the waitress, with a bit of our little ville‘s attraction in the background.
We, with family and visiting friends of son and son’s wife, really nice–came in a camper with two kids, brave souls).
Not sure I would be good in a caravan…maybe if I had trained on a leash, but mama didn’t want to cramp my style so just kept me in a garden instead.
On another subject, mama was fascinated by this tool that is sold in the market that does THIS to fruits and veggies:
In keeping with our festival, it sort of makes a Flamenco dancer out of melons! Wild, no?
Oh, the things you find out on thsese streets.
I get worn out from all this activity. Think I’ll just grab a few winks until the fireworks begin!
UH, OH—there they go!!!
I hope the fireworks didn’t spook you. I like watching them when they go off here in USA for Fourth of July. Say, were your momma & dad born in France? I hope all those peeps wear sunscreen, otherwise they will get premature wrinklies in skin!
Mama was born in Texas and papa in Panama, but just because his mama was THERE. He is from Vermont. We ALL wear sunscreen…well, except me, of course.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Place, Family, Food – and of course YOU, Loulou. WOW – is that a fruit-trimming device display? Or did Mama do that after a couple of Limoncellos? Well, get ready Loulou – we’ll be there in a week – and I’m bringing my poussette-stroller!!! You’ll love it. Well, maybe you’ll hate it. Not sure – BUT ya never know!!! à bientot, chère amie!!!!
HA HA Mama carving that sculpture out of melons…oh, boy. And I’ll TRY the poussette but I can’t promise anything other than a leap out of it as far away as possible. But it would be such fun….
you have such a great looking family! I think it is sad though, that Commandos, soldiers, police, whatever have to walk about with all of us. Wasn’t like that when we were all young. You are soooo beautiful! So glad it was a pawesome time!
Oh, thank you from mama. Yes, it is sad but the commandos do give a sense of safety. This thing in Barcelona was horrendous. Why are anthros so incredibly stupid and full of hate?
Wow – looks like a great time was had by all !
Is that fruit slicer device one of those we can buy on late-night TV?
Hope the fireworks don’t keep you awake too long !
HA HA yes, it looks exactly like a late-night TV item…that and onion choppers that you pull with a cord that don’t last long…but mama loved that Deco Tower of Melons! Watching the guy do it was fun, too.
