My daughter and I got dressed up to be one of the 10,000 people in Kortrijk to try to get Kortrijk its 5 stars to suceed in the tasks presented by the Belgian show Fata Morgana. We went into the city for a couple of hours to see what was going on. The sun was shining so bright today and there were thousands of people in the city to watch the program get recorded. We left early because it was all a bit too much and not totally our thing but it was fun to take part and it's always fun to play dress-up! By the time we left, I think Kortrijk had succeeded in two tasks and had therefore received two stars. There was still a cake to be revealed that would feed 10,000 people and the 10,000 glasses of champagne that had to be given out and something about an art exhibit. I assume Kortrijk has gotten all 5 stars by now because it's almost 10pm. We'll see tomorrow when they show it all on TV. I don't really like this show. Never have. But we live in Kortrijk and it is a GREAT place to live and we felt like being there and supporting it all. It was nice for our kid to see. It was very hot though and man did our feet hurt due to bad shoes. I wore my wedding shoes from more than 12 years ago! I guess my feet aren't what they used to be! Although it looks like a wedding dress, the dress in the above photos isn't. It's also more than 10 years old and I'm happy to say that it still fits fine!
Above and below you can see a bit of the sphere. Lots of balloons. Too bad for the birds who choke on them and for the trees they get stuck in - but hey - I don't need to be the party pooper! Yet still -- doesn't that seem like a really easy tradition to just stop doing to help the environment a little?HAPPY BIRTHDAY FILIP AND BEVIN AND YUCATAN!!!!!!

I just realized that I used fabulous three times in these comments. Apologies. I've seemed to developed a fondness for the word...
