I started off my day early in the morning about 5:30am. I went for a small jog and thereafter I had to go and get a blood test, as there is something soon to be resolved with my knee joints.
After this I called down to the CBC on my cell and they were in the midst of preparing to go to a francophone convention - so I decided that I would go there. I introduced myself with my French that has not been utilized much at all. Amazingly the organizer took me aside and I explained what I was doing and he gave me a pass to partake in all that was taking place there. My camera went dead with Batteries but then one nice gentleman with a camera promised to email me a few pictures of a famous French singer from Louisiana.
As for obtaining any picture with the CBC, it's impossible here, as they have to be giving authority from the ranks above. I hope to have more pictures, as this was something very unique. I learned French when I came into Canada and was sent to an academy, but it's been a while.
So these are the only pictures of this convention, but I hope in the near future to have a few more sent to me.
It was an excursions dans la periode...
Ooooh!!!! I like this! Love the fountain. Are those rock walls real or that imitation stuff that is sometimes used? Either way I like the look of it!
ReplyDeletePretty! I love those large dark green leaves with the lighter designs in the center. No idea what it is called. Those lighter, brighter leaves along the bottom looks like what I know as "plantain" only larger.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have taken more as I had done this place before back 2.5 years ago. The courtyard or the hotel is par few. Norma it was a warm day, I was going to head to the sand dunes but I ended up spending half my day at this convention - without enough batteries...However the lush green is nice, it's like an escape to a much warmer place!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about plants and all but I do love the way they look. Natural colors of nature seem to do something. But white snow well lets just say it will be nice when spring has sprung and the grass has ris...:)
Looks like a very nice place. Your mini interview was interesting also.
ReplyDeleteAll of your excursion photos are very nice.
ReplyDeleteOn last Saturday oui as this group of people that represented the french speaking portion of people of Canada enjoyed, and as well I enjoyed it as well. While there my batteries went out on me and it's right near the airport that is on the outer region of this city. But one thing lead into another.
ReplyDeleteThank you as well thank you for accepting my invitation.
