Musée Fabre

Yippee, I managed to "combine" photos I took the day the museum reopened in last February. I don't remember what English-speaking people call that :-)) Help, help!

Thank you, Olivier. I used Photofiltre and followed your instructions.

SHAPE

Last January, the SHAPE International Band was in Montpellier (I don't remember for which event...). I happened to be in Le Polygone where they were playing. It was great. It was probably one of the best jazz concerts I ever attended.

The SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe) is located near Mons, in Belgium, not far from where I lived for 15 years. De Gaulle made the NATO leave France long ago but they might come back in the next few years... If they do, I will see my friend Alexander more often. Alexander Boeringa, a former university professor from Houston, gives classes to the young NATO soldiers in the EU.

I did not understand why that great band was invited to play in a mall..... I think they deserved better.
