This morning Limoux was very quiet until late – the reason? Last night was a huge side show and other entertainment – so grand they closed all the major roads around the city so that everything could be set up in the streets.
In the main square you could do some old time dancing, which was very well attended by a variety of generations, on the main drag into town you could see performances of Beatles songs accompanied by stage dancers, alongside there were many food stalls where people could satisfy their hunger.
Further along and in front of the local college were lots of sideshows. The sideshows were frequented mainly by teenagers but not exclusively – the music was louder than loud with thumping beats, lots of laser lights, and plenty of other teenagers hanging out and enjoying the rides, shooting galleries, pick a prize, punch ball to test your strength, floating dicks and so on.
The 'Cake Walk':
The 'Dodgems':
Wouter heard people leaving about 4am this morning, hence the late public start. This afternoon after our little outing the roads were closed off once again for tonight’s events. Alors, some more pics of the things we saw during our walk around the shows, starting with the cups on a saucer:
Then by far the most popular attraction for the teens - 'Move It', for which there was a long queue - before 'take-off':
and you can see my legs on the left hand side, 3rd from the top:

and spinning around (where'd I put my stomach?):
faster spinning then hanging while they pump up the smoke screen - here'e where the screaming starts!:
laser lights, spinning faster and faster, more screaming (especially the girls):
everyone watching then making a beeline for the queue to have a go - if there's any scaring going on, they want a part of it:

Sounds like it was one heck of a party. Not too long now and you can have your own party when you get your new home. L
