This weekend, Montpellier had a 3 day festival, “Quartiers Libres”, that was completely free full of theatre, music, dance and whatnot. It was fun. On Friday night, Dawn and I went to this really interesting dance in the park and watched 3 women do different kinds of dancing. On Saturday we were too busy and tired to really check out the festival because of the long day that I previously described. Today we went to a whole day full of festivities by the Montpellier Arc de Triomphe. We saw a really good singing group of 3 really talented women. They were mostly accapella and really great. One of the women said she was an American from LA and had the most ridiculous American accent when she spoke in French. However, she slipped up at the end and spoke in perfect French without an accent.
The other things we saw were actually less than interesting. There was some sort of slow motion dance thing that took 30 minutes to accomplish NOTHING but the 2 people were on a rock in the middle of a pond. We also saw bits of some comical farce thing but couldn’t understand it because we were too far away to really see it. Another dance thing we saw was some sort of contemporary dance with intense techno music and less-than-intense dancing. Finally there was an Algerian band that played some ok music but we were getting cold at the end so we left about halfway through their set.
Your British word(s) of the day lesson: wee = little & stoor = dust
In a sentence: There is a wee bit of stoor on the mantle.
