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 special historic 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.
