OMG!!! what an afternoon!!! we went to the town center of coueron at about 5:00pm today, and watched some great music performances. the town center is located rite on the Loire river, with a large area of just stones, that are used for heaps of different activities each weekend. this weekend, it was to celebrate 100 years of this special sporting organisation. so throughout the whole day they had performances and activities. after the earlier performance, we went home to have dinner, and get some warm clothes on. when i say warm, i mean more than half my wadrobe! i had thermals on; 6 other layers, including about 3 jackets; also i had two pairs of leggings/tights under my jeans; 2 scalves, 2 pairs of socks. and i was still freezing. COME ON... its just 20 days into autumn and its below 10 degrees. im going to die when its winter. im already in my warmest clothes. uh oh!!! anyway, when we returned back to the spectac at about 9:30, we were waiting for the actual SPECTAC to start. and when it started there were these awsum clown people running through the croud playing drums, and then they went on the big "thing" (in the video below you'll see. soz, i dont know what its called). but anyway, it was being lifted up by a crane with a gymnast doing trapese while the clowns were playing the drums and there was music playing. it was such an awesome night, and to top it alll off, there were fireworks over the Loire River to finish the night. It was such a great day. and ive also got another great day planned for tomorrow.
(p.s. sorry about the bad quality with the videos. i was shivering and trying to watch the actual performance. and also, i hope the videos work, i havnt tried them yet on my blog. see if you can click full screen. that mite be best)
Fabulous!!! What a night. Videos are great - they're much clearer if you don't go full screen. Awesome. Can't believe how cold it is over there already. Hard for us to imagine when we sit here in summer singlets, ready to head to the beach for a swim.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. Such an exciting city.

I'm still loving reading your blog and looking at your photos and videos. It sounds like you're having a really awesome time and it also sounds as though you'll have to go shopping soon to buy some warmer clothes. That cold they have over there is very different from the cold we have here (it seems to go through everything) so look after yourself and keep warm!
