About a week ago, we started hearing the sound of metal pounding. Riding around town, we discovered a few locations where these huge, 3-story scaffolding stages were being put together. Last Thursday, we could hear a band blaring well past 11 pm from 4 blocks down the street. Laurents had told us to expect this at the end of August - the big productions, parties and loud music - when the fraternities have their events to attract new members during the first week of school for tu (technical university). This party barge was brought in by one group. Viva Virgiel, a organization housed behind our apartment building, was they were getting ready for some festivities later this evening.
As for our activities - a little more mundane than college students - today was a shopping day. We went to our usual haunts: the cheese store, the veggie store, and to the bakery.
