Surgeres Night Concert July 4th
Fifteen minutes away we joined in on a
gospel concert Friday night. Who would have guessed there would be
southern gospel singers from the US in town. Obviously Anne and I
knew some of the songs. It was very interesting to see the reactions
of the reserved French people who did not clap their hands, move to
the music, sing along or smile. They did listen politely and once in
awhile I would see a little movement! They probably didn't know what
they were getting into or maybe it was the fact the concert was free!
I wonder if they were enjoying themselves or waiting for it to be
over!
Anyway, the venue was awesome. They
try to hold community events in places to encourage people to get to
know them and enjoy them. We sat outside an ancient church that was
already filled to capacity. It was a marvelous place to sit though
as they had speakers set up outside and we could admire the old
church while listening to gospel. I walked around taking pictures
and then we ate our sandwiches. It was a very pleasant evening..
