Ackislander

Thanks, St Cirq

I have never thought about going to Les Landes, but to see people on stilts wearing berets . . . .

StCirq

It's really the only reason to go there, IMO, Ackislander.

Not true -- the pine forests and the beaches are excellent.

StCirq

Well, I've spent a fair amount of time in that neck of the woods, and the pine forests go on and on and on forever and get pretty boring pretty quickly, and while the actual beaches are excellent, many of them have been turned into incredibly tacky, overrun places full of cheap souvenir and barbe à papa stands. Maybe I missed the good stuff.

Thanks again kerouac. It was very interesting. Those crazy commies can sure throw a party! Where do the ceramics come from they looked amazing?

This is the opposite of your report on the 16th arr...

@Mikenass, true! I went the Communist rally
at the Place de Bastille in March.. Accidentally happened to cross the street from a brunch where we decided not to do.
It was the highlight of my trip. Everyone was so friendly and joyous. My communist youth flag, given to me, drapes my staircase.

The ceramics are from Palestine.

Hum - St Cirq always on keruoac's threads over and over - could they be the same person - you know that happens on the Internets!

kerouac

Maybe they should call it the internest.

kerouac - thanks for taking us to where we normally never could have gotten - and your camera ability amazes me - no other Fodorite can seemingly catch the moment like you - non parelleil (sp?) IMO.

Bravo! Keep the images coming for those of us not able to take in such neat things.

Cheers - waiting for more... more
