A Good Foamy Coffee Anywhere !

Imagine you are here, in the middle of an african river...
and suddenly you need a coffe !
I mean you harshly want a coffee...






















Now imagine - why not ? - that G@tto is sitting in the boat just behind you...
You can hear him rummaging in his backpack,
but you don't pay attention.
All of a sudden, the celestial, delicious, well known smell
you were dreaming about, caresses your nostrils
and G@tto lends you a regular espresso coffee !

















Your espresso in 4 motions :
- put the pressure
- pour hot water
- charge coffe pod
- press power

And now, don't leave without saying something nice for G@tto's Birthday !

Lisbon Treaty : Who's Afraid of People Voice ?

Ireland asks France to organize new presidential elections !

... alas, this strong headline of the M'PEP (fr), a French political movement, is just a joke
to underline the absurdity of Sarkozy's request for a second Irish referendum in order
to ratify the Lisbon treaty... already massively rejected by France and Holland in 2005.

Sinn Fein eurodeputy Mary Lou McDonald pointed out that while speaking a lot about
democracy, European governments act as they were afraid of people voice.

Second mission abroad...

Yes, but this time a driver was sent to pick me up for another coach session
in JewTown.
As a matter of fact the road journey was shorter than last year's flight and door to door,
so I didn't have to risk my life in Orly's basement bowels like in 2007.

Now here I am, safe and back to my fief for a while - with a few JewTown postcards...




















This odd structure on the right, called la ruche (the hive), hosts
the Louis Aragon métro and bus station and a car parking, at
the south end of métro's line # 7 in Villejuif (JewTown for G@tto).




















The Coptic church, on boulevard Maxime Gorki, alias
the Nationale 7 road.
Nice place, cute monks.




















You can find in here the best espresso coffee in JewTown
- a very good one indeed, in rue Jean-Jaurès... for 1€20 !




















The Acapulco was a good and cosy mex restaurant but...
It's all over now (... baby blue), the place is for sale.





















This one is still open and very pleasant in summer evenings,
but if I were you I shouldn't go farer than the entrées...




















Just funny, a toilet booth to rent.






















Indiscretion...
(she didn't see me).

Our Planet is Talking...

The day before French people pacifically take over the Bastille...
... greenpeace assaulted the Eiffel tower :

"Since coming into power in May 2007, President Nicolas Sarkozy
has been aggressively promoting nuclear energy, and attempting
to sell French reactors at every turn.
His government has signed agreements on nuclear exports and
cooperation with nine Mediterranean and Middle East countries in
the last year". (...)
