Indian Festival

An article in Coral Breeze announces' Indian Festival to discover the traditions and crafts of Native America. Curious, and delighted that an event is an opportunity for an exit "cultural", we drive to Sun Splash, water park Local - closed this season - which hosted the festival.

After paying the $ 5 without complaint entry per person, we skirted a dozen booths of crafts, a teepee in front of which an Indian woman in traditional dress (100% viscose) explained what was the purpose of the exhibits at his feet (a baby carrier, a pair of moccasins, a pipe, a few skins coypus) and a tent under which a band hoarse before a microphone. Not finding the entrance to the festival itself, we turned to a vendor who opened his eyes in astonishment: "But that's the festival you're there!".

There is that we have made round eyes ... disappointment. In fact, there was more to sell than to discover a culture.

Come on, let's be good princes and play the game:'ll see what they sell! Some artisans sell items they make themselves (silver jewelry inlaid with turquoise, drawings and paintings and traditional musical instruments), but most offer mass-produced objects (made in China?): Polar jackets Patterned bear or wolves, pottery industry, dreamcatcher with feathers colored kitsch, bumper stickers proclaiming "I am Indian and proud of it" or collars colored plastic beads.

A little frustrating, but if you want to be objective, our cottages, music boxes, our plastic edelweiss pin mounted, our wooden spoons cream and our T-shirts with flowers Alpine Are the most authentic? The problem is the same everywhere: the authentic items made by hand labor intensive and therefore their price is high. But our shopping opportunities such as this festival are impulse buys and the amount we are prepared to invest - unless we are passionate collectors - still modest. Vendors therefore adapt to the application: typical items and cheap items = mass produced with cheap materials. Thus we (tourists or visitors) have caused the situation that we regret later ...

The trouble with a dog ...

A bookstore? A 1 km from us? Cultural irresistible after withdrawal of 2 weeks! We decide to walk there, under the astonished gaze of the motorist whose car is in lieu of prosthetic legs ... A good opportunity to Joy walk a little further than usual.

The trouble with a dog is that does not needs to order. However, it is imperative here to pick up the droppings, even on the median between two lanes of traffic where nobody will ever set foot. We have already seen that there is no distributor for excrement bags to use in areas where dogs can be let loose. They are rare. American dogs pose do they poop than when off?

We initially treasured plastic bags generously awarded in the stores and found it somewhat disproportionate and impractical to walk with a bag that can hold 5 kg of goods ... So we made a generous supply of bags and ad hoc Dogbeach not leave without ever having one in your pocket. Here we are heading for the bookstore. A few hundred yards away, Joy made his poop that - civilized people - we pick up carefully while waiting to cross the first bin. Nothing. Not a single bin. We toyed with the idea of getting rid of that damned bag sliding into a mailbox (there are no shortages!), Then have wisely placed behind a post before entering the library for leaving again. Some observers have been few, we promised to be more attentive to the dustbins on the way back (each taking turns at the dog and the bag to evenly distribute the feeling of ridicule). Well ... we came home with the bag!

The financial crisis has struck again

This morning the phone rings ... This is Barbara (our landlord) who warns us that we could have a visit from a person providing the documents and that nothing should be signed, but just take any documents and tell the person to apply to them (who live across the street). To be sure to identify the right person, I ask what kind of documents question. And then we fall from the clouds ... Barbara explains, her throat tightened, the economic situation forces them to sell the house we're staying! Our stay is fortunately not questioned because the sale will be effective only in several months, but it's a shock.
This couple apparently qu'aisé, owner of several houses, a yacht and two cars, which is reduced to trying to sell urgently its properties before they were seized, at the worst time since the market collapsed and the houses are sold off. Real estate agencies also are trying to lure potential customers with discounts up to 20% off the asking price there is still little!
In fact, we see once again that we really never pay what you buy here, just to pay interest on loans they obtained. And when these interests amounted to several thousand dollars per month, absorbing the bulk of income, it does not take much for everything changes. Interests that we can no longer pay on time in addition to large penalties for delay, if it is unable to rectify the situation, he must sell to avoid foreclosure. If we imagine that Barbara and Barry took a loan of 450,000 dollars for this house and they get to sell it for 350,000, He will still be a debt of 100,000 dollars which they pay interest throughout their lives when they have more home ...

The situation in this region of Florida is dramatic. Many people find themselves on the street and a few days ago, the paper contained a long article on families who had to leave their homes to move into mobile homes at the campsite ... The city of Cape Coral has established a program called "Adopt a family for Christmas" (adopt a family for Christmas). Go Register for a family for Christmas: it offers $ 50 for meals and gifts for each child. Another article gave advice on how to tell children they will not have the gifts on their list to Santa and suggested gift ideas to make your own. We must say here that if we regret that Christmas is a celebration if commercial, here it takes on gigantic proportions! Two television channels devoted 24 hours 24 to teleshopping and of course, right now, everything is focused on Christmas, but in a rather perverse. Advertising plays on the fact that people have less money, but want to save face. Basically, it gives: "Your dream woman a jewel and you can not afford? Buy this beautiful necklace which will delight ... His finishes are so perfect that no one will see that it's fake and that you have paid only $ 29! ".

We find this state spirit in the house. Ours has exterior walls that seem to have a thickness of about 20 cm, but if you look closely, the wall is at most 8-10 cm thick and the rest, c is an addition to drywall that rings hollow ... The furniture appeared to be solid wood, but plastic, our table looks to be painted rattan cream, but c is a synthetic resin ...

is a society where appearances count alone and posing. Whatever that quality is mediocre, as long as "it throws".

The boss is not boring ...

We must recover some serious work! It was very quiet on that side these days, but now back to reality industrious ... I must say that working conditions are quite nice and the boss is not boring: a few hours the computer then when your back starts to snort, hop, a little swim!

And Joy jumped in the water, of course ... (with the blessing of the owners, I say). As I'm not going to detail the number of lines translated, the remarks will be short today. But I have some issues aside, do not worry!

You've seen the house from the outside, here are some views from inside
