Art

Today I went to an art expo in an old church... 

Montpellier by night.

Ok, Aiden tells me I've been too quiet lately so here is what I've been doing this evening. It's been really, really hot this week, 37 one day, 40 the next in the full sun! I've been trying to keep indoors because it's much cooler! It's not a good plan  to even open the windows because it lets the hot air in. Montpellier needs some trees! So, night time pics...

Everyone is soccer mad here, the people gather around any tv screen and get VERY excited about something ??? :-)

Soccer anyone? 

Ok, what's up with this shot?

Oh yeah! Best class!

Thanks for all the letters guys!

Nature Tour

Today I went on a Nature tour to see the Camargue Horses and the Flamingo. This tour was in a 4X4 truck. An experience! The guy running the tour took his time and we saw plenty of wildlife!

La Traviata

Last night I was lucky enough to go to the Opera. One of the people staying in the same place as me is an Opera singer. He gave my host a ticket to the dress rehersal. So, on I went to view La Traviata!

The theatre was built in 1888, Montpellier was built around then to model Paris. It even has an Arc de Triomphe!

So, I really enjoyed the Opera! almost 3 hours of it! But seriously, it was super cool!

 One odd thing though...there were subtitles in FRENCH above the stage on a screen...

The painting on the ceiling of the theatre was so beautiful!
