On a fêté le vent!
Sep. 26th, 2010 09:00 amI might be awesome but there is one thing that my awesomeness cannot change and that's the fact that sometimes I do crazy stuff. Like deciding to go for a run at 7am this morning. It was (and still is) 11C on this damned hill... and add to that Mistral! Next time I really have to remember to put on gloves and something over my ears. Brrrr... Mistral... gusts of wind... wind in general... Fête du Vent. My transitions are flawless. Last week-end there was the annual wind festival at the Prado beach, the place to be if you have no other plans and don't mind getting a few kites on your head. |

The great thing is that there are a lot of professionals (they even do demos of what they usually present at the world championships and that is quite a thing to see) and tons of regular people with tiny kites out. I suppose Marseille is always a good spot because the chances of there being at least a decent amount of wind around the beach area are high. |

There is also usually a "wind garden" set-up where artists expose their works related to wind. They often involve recycled materials and they look pretty funky... and they amuse the children to no end. |

This year India was the main invited country and they presented a few traditional dances. Italy and Spain were the most represented though, after all it's not that far. |
