Notre objectif est la Ferme 5 étoiles, qui nous propose une expédition de trois jours de rando-raquettes le long du fjord glacé du Saguenay, une rivière qui se jette dans le puissant fleuve sus-cité.

Six hours after we left Montreal, we reach Tadoussac, cross the Saguenay river and head for the &lt;/i&gt;Ferme 5 étoiles&lt;i&gt;, a farm/rootsy resort that offers to facilitate a 3-day snowshoeing hike along the magnificent Saguenay fjord.

Une première journée de marche de 5 km (4h de zig-zags et de montées le long des falaises du fjord) pour arriver au premier refuge). Une seconde plus intense de 10 km (6h) pour arriver à la yourte, et la dernière tranquille en redescente (5 km et 1h30). &lt;i&gt;The "Attache ta tuque" combo comprises two nights in a shelter and a yurt, and the snowmobiling of our heavy luggage (food and wine) to the next stop. The first day involves four hours of climbing and zigzaging along the flord's cliffs. The second day is six hours of the same and the last is an easy downhill of an hour and a half.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journée 1: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Either you go for the most direct routes using asphalted roads, but the price to pay is hyper congested traffic, stifling pollution and sheer chaos, or you play smart-ass and navigate the less crowded dirt streets, but then you’d better be equipped with serious 4x4 skills because it’s all craters and dust. Escaping the city proves an even more challenging combination of both types of route as if P-a-P was fighting to keep you in. Once a Caribbean gem, the city now offers disheartening sights to the Western eye. Flattened buildings, anarchical traffic, open air sewers, ubiquitous plastic waste and rubble, and a few walled-in oases of luxury and peace reserved for those who can afford them. However, Haiti lives outside of its down-trodden capital and bursts with beauty. Beauty that the world has forgotten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few sights of the south shore of Haiti, around the town of Jacmel, photographed along a wonderful escapade with Valerie, her parents, and faithful Mr. Belisaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Se déplacer a Port-au-Prince, pour le pied-tendre occidental que je suis, c’est un mélange de chemin de croix et d’Oddysee homérique. Au volant de votre 4x4 (tout autre véhicule est voue a une mort cruelle, et marcher relève du suicide), vous avez le choix entre Charybde et Scylla : Charybde, c’est la voie asphaltée, un calvaire soit de bouchons soit de combats Mad Maxiens pour ne pas être aplati par les camions et ne pas aplatir les motards. Scylla, c’est la voie du gros malin qui connait les chemins de traverse, champs de cratères autrefois dignes du nom de routes. Pas de bouchons, mais pas plus de 10km/h. L’Etat, déjà démissionnaire avant le séisme mais pire encore aujourd’hui, a laisse les routes a l’abandon, ainsi que la plupart des services publics.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Donc, sortir de P-a-P c’est passer de Charybde en Scylla pendant au moins une heure à bouffer de la poussière et des gaz d’échappements noirs. Ceci dit c’est à celui qui entreprend cette évasion qu’Haïti réserve ses beautés.

L’air est frais et vivifiant, et l’on se sent protégé par la présence des camions militaires, couvé du regard par le soldat depuis sa tourelle de mitrailleuse lourde.&lt;br /&gt;Il semblerait qu’en ce début 2010 les tensions se ravivent entre zapatistes et forces gouvernementales. L’armée renforce ses effectifs, pénètre en territoire zapatiste, et les milices paramilitaires d’extrême-droite (pilotées par l’armée) se livrent à des violences (viols, torture, enlèvements) pour intimider les villageois zapatistes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HtANcz3I/AAAAAAAACI0/u0lb1aHHVg0/s1600/DSC06035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HtANcz3I/AAAAAAAACI0/u0lb1aHHVg0/s320/DSC06035.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Je n’étais pas au courant de cela quand, après avoir vu le documentaire « Zapatista, crónica de una rebelión », je décidais d’aller à la rencontre des zapatiste pour mieux comprendre leur modèle original de société (le doc raconte seulement le déroulement des évènements entre 1994 et 2008). Un agente du kiosque touristique, prise au dépourvu, m’indique vaguement la direction à prendre en camionnette-taxi pour arriver en territoire zapatiste. Après une heure de zigzags dans les verdoyantes montagnes du nord de San Cristobal, je suis déposé en bord de route, entre une épicerie décorée des moustaches du général Zapata et une barrière gardée par deux femmes indigènes aux visages cachés par un foulard rouge. Je suis a Oventik, et une pancarte proclame: "Vous êtes en territoire rebelle zapatiste". Les femmes me demandent la raison de ma présence et une preuve d’identité, puis disparaissent dans la « casa de vigilencia ». On m’indique de passer et une fois à l’intérieur de la dite casa, je suis interrogé (gentiment) par trois hommes encagoulés. On veut surtout savoir si je suis membre de la presse ou d’une organisation. J’apprendrai plus tard que les journalistes sont refoulés depuis la recrudescence des tensions. Je suis ensuite reçu dans une autre maison ou deux « agents d’informations » encagoulés (en photo – ce sont les seules personnes que je suis autorisé à photographier) me racontent l’histoire du mouvement et répondent à mes questions sur leur modèle social. Quelques infos :&lt;br /&gt;Justice : les zapatistes refusent toute ingérence du « mal gobierno » du Chiapas et de la république fédérale. Ainsi, ils nomment leurs propres juges autonomes qui règlent les différents en respectant les us et coutumes de chaque village. Ils y a de nombreuses ethnies différentes au sein des zapatistes. &lt;br /&gt;Démocratie : ils pratiquent une démocratie qui n’est pas la dictature de la majorité mais la recherche du consensus général. Ainsi, une décision n’est prise que si TOUS les villages sont d’accord. Un processus lent mais qui assure que chacun a une voix.&lt;br /&gt;Economie : ils veulent se débarrasser des relations capitalistes (leur colère a explosé en 1994 lors de la signature des accords de libre-échange de l’ALENA (NAFTA in English)) et visent à établir une économie collectiviste. Leur production est agricole (de plus en plus biologique) et artisanale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HOCvkd9I/AAAAAAAACIk/mX_GLrUhdI0/s1600/DSC06034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HOCvkd9I/AAAAAAAACIk/mX_GLrUhdI0/s320/DSC06034.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HD0jL3sI/AAAAAAAACIc/iQi2SpuJIwU/s1600/DSC06038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75HD0jL3sI/AAAAAAAACIc/iQi2SpuJIwU/s320/DSC06038.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75GvqJZFNI/AAAAAAAACIU/AyAZFClh2J4/s1600/DSC06042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75GvqJZFNI/AAAAAAAACIU/AyAZFClh2J4/s320/DSC06042.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils refusent toute aide gouvernementale et ne payent ni impôt, ni facture d’électricité (l’hydro électricité du Chiapas fournit 50% de l’électricité mexicaine). Boire de l’alcool est interdit, et les zapatistes organisent leur propre système éducatif ou l’histoire du pays est racontée du point de vue des « vaincus », et oú l’accent n’est pas mis sur la compétition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;With Palenque, old colonial San Cristobal is a must-see for all those visiting Chiapas. It is set in a gorgeous valley, and "It's a pleasure to explore San Cristobal's cobbled streets and markets, soaking up the unique ambiance and the wonderfully clear highland light." says the Lonely Planet guide, and now even Mexican families have made it a top destination in this semana santa. How not to feel safe there, when military trucks patrol the town and soldiers sporting heavy machine guns regularly come visit the colorful plazas?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tension seems to be on the rise between Zapatista and governmental forces in early 2010. The army pile up troops in the region, trespass into Zapatista territory, and their minions (paramilitary militias) bully Zapatista villagers using kidnapping and torture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I was not aware of this as I bought my ticket to watch "Zapatista, crónica de una rebelión", a documentary that recounts the events that happened between 1994 and 2008. As the documentary said very little about the Zapatista's original social organization, I thought it was a good idea to go out to the mountains and meet these people to learn more. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The girl at the tourist information kiosk is caught off guard by my request, but I am definitely not the only foreigner wanting to meet Marcos' friends. So after an hour of riding various taxis colectivos through the beautiful mountains of Chiapas, I am dropped off on top of a hill, between a grocery store painted with a portrait of mustachioed General Zapata and a fenced gate guarded by two women, their faces masked with a red scarf. I am in Oventic, the Zapatista town closest to San Cristobal. “You are in Zapatista rebel territory,” reads a large sign. One woman asks for ID and the reason of my visit, and disappears with my document (my Quebec driving licence, expired) into the "casa de vigilencia". They she tells me to come into the compound and leads me into the casa de vigilencia, where three men wearing balaclava hoods (gently) interrogate me. They want to know if I work for the press or any organization. Once satisfied with my answers, they lead me to another house where another two hooded men, appointed information agents (see photo), greet me, tell me the story of the movement and answer my questions. They forbid me to record the interview or take pictures of anyone but them for safety reasons.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75Iy23a5SI/AAAAAAAACJM/A9X2wmmJtJs/s1600/DSC05527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75Iy23a5SI/AAAAAAAACJM/A9X2wmmJtJs/s320/DSC05527.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75I2bdJo3I/AAAAAAAACJU/xVTON8aiiFE/s1600/ezln.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75I2bdJo3I/AAAAAAAACJU/xVTON8aiiFE/s320/ezln.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some of the information:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Justice: Zapatistas refuse any interference of state and federal "bad government". Zapatistas appoint their own autonomous judges who administer justice while respecting the customs and tradition of each ethic group (there are many). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Democracy: They refuse the dictatorship of the majority and seek general consensus. Every issue is discussed by each village, and then delegates go back and forth until all of the united Zapatista villages agree on an answer. Slow but fair. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75J2eImOTI/AAAAAAAACJc/nG7ToWfGx-w/s1600/DSC06041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75J2eImOTI/AAAAAAAACJc/nG7ToWfGx-w/s320/DSC06041.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Economy: they fight neoliberal attempts to submit all people and lands to the power of corporations, strive to get rid of capitalist relationships (their anger burst out in 1994 as the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed) and aim to establish a collectivist economy. They mainly produce organic foods and crafts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75KJoJ4zHI/AAAAAAAACJk/2NiE6QJrNlo/s1600/DSC06038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75KJoJ4zHI/AAAAAAAACJk/2NiE6QJrNlo/s320/DSC06038.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75ImB-sl2I/AAAAAAAACJE/tisEeNWy570/s1600/mujeres-en-rojo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75ImB-sl2I/AAAAAAAACJE/tisEeNWy570/s320/mujeres-en-rojo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Education: they have built their own programs so as to give children a worldview that is not based on competition, and one that promotes the right for different cultures and models of development to exist. Drinking alcohol is forbidden on Zapatista land, as intoxication ravages indigenous families.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6553114397074206510?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6553114397074206510/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6553114397074206510' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6553114397074206510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6553114397074206510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2010/04/interview-with-zapatista.html' title='Interview with the Zapatistas'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S75Hg23VODI/AAAAAAAACIs/Lf8xdZShafE/s72-c/DSC06047.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-6036940556062198708</id><published>2010-03-27T19:21:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-28T00:39:10.201-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Entrevista con Juan Carlos</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xcqm6b"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xcqm6b" width="480" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un entrevue avec Juan Carlos, qui nous parle de son bar, Club Tamarindo, et des problemes typiques de corruption bureaucratique que rencontrent les gérants de bars (voir l'article "Flyers for Friends" plus bas).&lt;br /&gt;Rectification: Juan Carlos, celui qui porte des lunettes, est á gauche de Rafael.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;An interview with Juan Carlos who tells us about 'la onda' of Club tamarindo and about the typical problems bar managers have local corrupt bureaucrats (see the "Flyers for Friends" entry below).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;My bad: Juan carlos is the one wearing glasses and actually is on Rafael's left.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcqm6b_club-tamarindo_travel"&gt;Club Tamarindo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cargado por &lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/tamagoshi007"&gt;tamagoshi007&lt;/a&gt;. -

Les autres au Zocalo, autour de la Cathédrale. Difficile de passer deux coins de rue sans croiser une église. Je ne sui spas un fana des lieux de cultes mais le site que nous ont légué les frères Dominicains me paraît le joyau de Oaxaca, surtout pour ce qu’il est devenu aujourd’hui.&lt;br /&gt;Certes, l’église est superbe. A son côté, l’ex-couvent, labyrinthique et monumental, l’est tout aussi – converti en musée, il offre un panorama de la culture de Oaxaca. Chaque chambre de moine protège de ses murs énormes un morceau de l’histoire locale. Mais le lieu le plus enchanteur à mes yeux reste le jardin ethnobotanique. D’abord il fut le potager des moines dès le 16e siècle, puis, la cavalerie en prit possession au milieu du 19e pour en faire une caserne ; enfin, les citoyen se le sont réapproprié dans les années 1980 de la plus belle façon en en faisant un hommage à la diversité de la flore de l’état de Oaxaca, de ses plaines arides à ses montagnes couvertes de pins. Laissez-vous vous offrir quelques cactus dont je suis tombé amoureux ! A cliquer pour observer de plus près.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;« I’ll see you at the Santo Domingo » is the easiest way for people to find each other. How many dates take place in front of Oaxaca’s most beautiful church every night? I am&amp;nbsp;not a fervent church visitor, but the site built by and for the Dominican friars in the 16th-17th centuries, or at least what it has become today, shines as Oaxaca’s finest jewel in my eyes. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Church is beautiful, agreed. But the convent and its garden, which have now been turned to lay hands and secular purposes, are much more interesting. The convent, with its incredibly thick walls and monumental maze of rooms and corridors, now shelters an exhaustive (and exhausting) museum dedicated to the history and culture of Oaxaca. But my favorite remains the marvelous ethnobotanical garden. From the 16th century it was the monks’ kitchen garden, then the cavalry turned it into a garrison, a finally the citizen claimed it in the 1980s to dedicate it to the cult of Oaxaca very diverse flora (the State has the most diverse eco systems of Mexico). Here’s a bouquet of cacti and flowers. They deserve to be clicked, enlarged and scrutinized!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-7953531615025858992?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/7953531615025858992/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=7953531615025858992' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7953531615025858992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7953531615025858992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2010/03/cactus-madness-el-jardin-etnoibotanico.html' title='Cactus madness (El jardín etnobotanico de Oaxaca)'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6frFE8aHXI/AAAAAAAACFU/4X6Il-79bOo/s72-c/DSC05894.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-1660939329979695307</id><published>2010-03-17T14:45:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T14:45:50.342-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Flyers for friends</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaPHOSRhI/AAAAAAAACBs/CEs-M8Naajc/s1600-h/tamarindo_es.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaPHOSRhI/AAAAAAAACBs/CEs-M8Naajc/s400/tamarindo_es.jpg" vt="true" width="257" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaMdUAoDI/AAAAAAAACBk/Ct2Ci6LByd8/s1600-h/2ganesha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaMdUAoDI/AAAAAAAACBk/Ct2Ci6LByd8/s1600-h/2ganesha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaMdUAoDI/AAAAAAAACBk/Ct2Ci6LByd8/s400/2ganesha.jpg" vt="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le troc évite que l'on se salisse les mains avec ces vilains billets. En passant prendre un jus de papaye, dans une maison sur le chemin&amp;nbsp;de retour du boulot (je ne travaille pas tant que ca), je discute avec l'esquicheuse de fruits qui me dit offrir aussi des cours de yoga sur place. La semaine suivante commence un fructueux échange cours de yoga pour cours d'anglais et design de flyer publicitaire. Son coloc, Juan Carlos, tient un bar sympa, el Club Tamarindo,&amp;nbsp;pas loin de mon auguste demeure. J'y passe chaque fois que je descend en ville, et Juan Carlos m'apprend qu'en 3 ans d'existence il a dû fermer 8 fois&amp;nbsp;à cause des tracas administratifs que subit celui qui refuse de graisser la patte des bureaucrates locaux (entretien enregistré dans le prochain article). Il en a tellement marre qu'il met la clé sous la porte&amp;nbsp;à la fin du mois. Du coup je lui propose d'organiser une fête d'au-revoir et lui pondre un flyer publicitaire. Merci Gimp. Au fait, vous êtes invité(e)s!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EjPCTFToI/AAAAAAAACB0/VWsgj_s7QEE/s1600-h/indio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EjPCTFToI/AAAAAAAACB0/VWsgj_s7QEE/s320/indio.jpg" vt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I like pesos. Most of the current banknotes are fresh and crisp. Still, trading services feels cleaner. On my way home from the little work I do, I stopped at a&amp;nbsp;juice bar for a papaya/watermelon mix, and the papaya-squeezing girl told me she also taught yoga at the back of&amp;nbsp;her house. Soon we began a mutually enriching exchange, yoga for English and a series of advertising flyers. Her roommate Juan Carlos shared with me his hatred of local bureaucrats. His bar, Club Tamarindo, had to close down 8 times in 3 years because of the trouble they gave him for refusing to grease a few palms (the interview will be published in the next article). Club Tamnarindo being very close to my home, we often talked around an Indio cerveza, and when he told me he was so tired of fighting corruption that&amp;nbsp;he was closing down the bar at the end of the month,&amp;nbsp;I suggested a good-bye party and a flyer. You're invited, by the way.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-1660939329979695307?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/1660939329979695307/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=1660939329979695307' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1660939329979695307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1660939329979695307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2010/03/flyers-for-friends.html' title='Flyers for friends'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S6EaPHOSRhI/AAAAAAAACBs/CEs-M8Naajc/s72-c/tamarindo_es.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-6165971182787008956</id><published>2010-02-25T23:42:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T23:52:08.163-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Voyage sédentaire</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S38Lu71AvJI/AAAAAAAACA8/DGNkOUfhgws/s1600/DSC05641.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !

Un défi énorme, car ces zones rurales sont isolées, trés pauvres, et parfois l'espagnol y est une seconde langue derriére le zapotéque, le mixtéque, ou autre.

Travelling without moving is cool. The sedentary&amp;nbsp;traveller meets pleasures and challenges&amp;nbsp;that differ from that of the&amp;nbsp;serial backbacker. Finding a home, making friends, ensuring&amp;nbsp;non-gringo prices at the market, falling into routine, getting a job, wondering why you're here and not there, getting a bad reputation at a disco...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Meet Amber and Alex, my most excellent roommates from Brighton, England who have set out on a 3 year exile, and who have settled in Oaxaca for a year.I need to find a screen to watch France's victory over England in what will be the 6-Nation tournament's final game, in a few weeks.

Nowhere else is it made.Let's first take a look at this pointy plant, known as agave or meguey. There exist many kinds of agave, and each produces a different sort of mescal, the most famous being tequila. Yes, tequila is a subcategory of mezcal. But Oaxaca's mezcal, unlike tequila, is always produced according to the traditional method presented here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;First, let the aguave grow for 6 to 10 years under the glorious sun of the Oaxaca valley.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Then, harvest it, chop off the leaves and keep the pinapple-like heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Slice it up and let it cook for up to 5 days in a hot stone oven dug into the ground. This will give it a smokey flavour typical of mezcal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Then grind it into a pulp and let it sit into big wood barrels, mixed with a little water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Finally, distil the pulp into a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;40º poison that will become golden as it gets old in wooden barrels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;click photos to enlarge them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="FR" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Le mez&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;cal e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;st la fierté et le poison favori des oaxaqueños. Les étudiantes de médecines défilaient l'autre soir en costumes traditionnels, distribuant le b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;rulant liquide aux passants et les entrainant dans leurs danses. Passé le mal de crane du lendemain, on se demande ce qu’il y avait dans ce liquide ambré.&lt;br /&gt;La plante dont le tequila et le mezcal sont tirés est l’agave, ou meguey. C’est très pointu, et très long á faire pousser (6 á 10 ans). Selon les variétés d’agave, on obtient différents types de mezcal ou tequila. A noter qu’á la différence du tequila, le mezcal est toujours produit de façon artisanale. Voici la méthode.&lt;br /&gt;On commence par récolter et épointer l’agave, dont le cœur ressemble alors á un gros ananas vert, ou une pigne de pin geante.&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite on le coupe en morceaux et on les laisse cuire de 3 á 5 jours dans un four de pierres et de braises creusé dans le sol.&lt;br /&gt;On mouline la plante fumée et on laisse reposer la pate dans de larges tonneaux de bois, mélangée á un peu d’eau.&lt;br /&gt;Finalement on distille le tout pour obtenir un tord-boyaux de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="FR" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;40º, qui finira par s’adoucir et prendre une teinte dorée selon le temps qu’il vieillira en fut. Il se décline aussi en crèmes.

A joyous mess the Spaniards sliced into in 1532, spreading the Gospels with one hand and snatching gold with the other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S2L6X7HEXbI/AAAAAAAAB80/Cy77Fgr4UcI/s1600-h/200px-Funerary_Urn_from_Oaxaca.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S2L6X7HEXbI/AAAAAAAAB80/Cy77Fgr4UcI/s320/200px-Funerary_Urn_from_Oaxaca.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Oaxaca later endured a French invasion (1863 – what were the French doing there?), a Mexican Revolution (1910 - viva Zapata!) and too many earthquakes to be counted. In 1987 the Unesco declared Oaxaca world heritage for its colonial center and archeological treasures. Here are a few photos of the Monte Alban ruins, once a mighty&amp;nbsp;Zapotec metropolis, florishing between 300 BC and 800 AD.&amp;nbsp;You can tell it hasn’t rained in a while.

Un désordre au milieu duquel les soudards de Cortez, qui n’en demandaient pas tant, débarquent la bible dans une main et l’épée dans l’autre en 1532.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Par la suite, Oaxaca subit une invasion française foireuse en 1863, une révolution mexicaine en 1910 (viva Zapata !) et d’innombrables tremblements de terre. En 1987, l’Unesco la classe au patrimoine mondial de l’humanité pour la beauté de son centre historique et ses richesses archéologiques environnantes. En photo le site de Monte Alban, une métropole zapotèque occupée de 300 avant JC à 800 après JC, une des plus importantes d’Amérique centrale. On voit sur les photos qu’il n’a pas plu depuis un bout de temps. Voici finalement Martin et Leala, deux couchsurfers de passage chez Silvia qui m’ont appris la langue des signes étatsunienne à l’ombre des pyramides.

s’en suivent 6h de zig-zags en bus dans les montagnes de la Sierra Madre pour rejoindre Oaxaca de Juarez (voir carte deux articles plus bas). Paysages de vallées plongeantes plantées de cactus droits comme des poteaux électriques.&lt;br /&gt;Grâce à la magie de couchsurfing.org, je suis accueilli après 20h de voyage par Silvia et Salvador,&lt;br /&gt;; ils m’assoient devant un plat mitonné maison qui m’allume le palais et rend vie à mes cellules. Le confort de leur maison perchée au pied des montagnes qui encerclent la ville est inespéré. Le lendemain, « grâce » au décalage horaire, je suis debout pour voir le soleil se lever sur la ville. L’air est pur et frais, et bientôt il sera chaud et sec. Très chaud en fait. Un vrai dimanche en famille commence par un desayuno et une ballade dans le marché de Tlacolula où les gens des pueblitos environnants, indigenos pour la plupart, viennent vendre leur artisanat et les produits de leur terre. Un joyeux bouquet de couleurs et de saveurs, de langues zapotèques, mixtèques, chocho et j’en passe (voir http://www.colmex.mx/alim/coleccion.html) . Le soleil tape, le mercure passe les 33 degrés et il faut s’armer de sombreros. Une crème glacée au mescal et nous repartons, en faisant une pose au vénérable arbre de Tulle ; 2000 ans et le tronc le plus gros du monde (périmètre de 42 m).&lt;br /&gt;Une semaine a passé et Silvia et Salvador m’ont donné le support nécessaire pour que je puisse commencer à m’intégrer à Oaxaca.&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Cliquez les photos pour les agrandir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;I flew from Barcelona to Oaxaca in 14 hours, 2 scary turbulence zones and 3 pathetic romantic comedies. Jennifer Anniston, the plague of transatlantic flights. Soon a comfy bus was taking me through the southern mountain ranges, whose slopes are covered in cacti straight as telephone poles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Thanks to the magic of couchsurfing.org, I am picked up at the Oaxaca station by Silvia and Salvador who soon pumped new life into me in the form of home-made spicy food and a snug bed. Due to my jetlagged brain, I get up the next morning to see the sun rise over the city from the terrace of their house, which is perched at the foot of the mounts that embrace Oaxaca de Juarez. The crip, fresh morning breeze will soon give way to dry heat. It is Sunday and the whole family takes off to the neighbouring town of Tlacolula where we breakfast and tour the local market. People from the surrounding pueblitos, most of them indigenos, gather here to sell their crafts, cattle, fruits and veggies. A whirlwind of colours, smells, languages (Mixtec, Zapotec, Choco and others, see http://www.colmex.mx/alim/coleccion.html). The sun begins to soar and sear (33 Celcius) and we must buy sombreros and mescal ice-cream. On the way back we pull over in Tulle where the world’s biggest tree stands (42 m at the waist and 2000 years of age).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;A week has passed and thanks to their support I have been able to&amp;nbsp;settle down in&amp;nbsp;Oaxaca with some serenity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Click photos to enlarge them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-5865917019908569135?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/5865917019908569135/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=5865917019908569135' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5865917019908569135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5865917019908569135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2010/01/llegada-oaxaca.html' title='Llegada a Oaxaca'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S1iRR9SGokI/AAAAAAAAB6k/1m7Xq6rur6o/s72-c/DSC05464.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-5886811710968587316</id><published>2010-01-10T11:51:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T12:35:14.587-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bébé sur le dos</title><content type='html'>Un dernier souvenir du Sénégal, où les bébés sont sages et heureux sur le dos de leur mère.

Aujourd'hui encore, rien n'est sûr, et je n'ai pas acheté de billet; pourtant assez de coincidences&amp;nbsp;me poussent à&amp;nbsp;porter&amp;nbsp;le regard vers la région de Oaxaca, au sud du Mexique.&amp;nbsp;Une terre élevé, au coeur de la Sierra Madre del Sur, où les plus hauts pics culminent à plus de 3500 m.&amp;nbsp;Une cordillère très riche en biodiversité, et une ville, Oaxaca de&amp;nbsp;Juarez,&amp;nbsp;connue pour ses beautés coloniales et sa rebellion alter mondialiste de 2006.&amp;nbsp;Tout près, de nombreux sites archéologiques zapotèques et mixtèques.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Une région où je&amp;nbsp;m'installerais et travaillerais bénévolement pendant quelques mois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S0T6vmDIknI/AAAAAAAAB6c/Sor8IDg5LI8/s1600-h/mexico-map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/S0T6vmDIknI/AAAAAAAAB6c/Sor8IDg5LI8/s400/mexico-map.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;De mon séjour sénégalais, je n'ai raconté que quelques anecdotes colorées qui, bien que mémorables et chères à mon coeur, ne sont que des&amp;nbsp;vignettes superficielles qui ne traduisent pas la densité des interrogations et des apprentissages&amp;nbsp;qui sont les fruits d'un premier périple africain. Ici en France j'entends les médias sans cesse débattre &lt;em&gt;sur le débat&lt;/em&gt; concernant l'identité nationale française (et non pas débattre des valeurs elles-même).&amp;nbsp;Beaucoup de bruit pour rien.&amp;nbsp;Le meilleur moyen de cerner cette identité, comme n'importe quelle identité, c'est encore de partir, et de la mettre à l'épreuve de l'autre et de l'ailleurs; et mes amis franco-montréalais ne me contradiront peut-être pas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;A new departure is ahead of me; its destination is still uncertain and I haven't bought any ticket yet. However many coincidences have drawn my attention to the highlands of the Oaxaca region, in southern Mexico, where mountains culminate at more than 12000 feet. a Cordillera with a rich and unique biodiversity and a city, Oaxaca de Jarez, known for its colonial beauty and a 2006 attempt to create a new social and democratic system. Close to the city lie many Zapotec and mixtec archological sites. I contemplate settling down there for a few months and volunteering to the best of my abilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;In this blog I have recounted only a few anecdotes of my Senegalese month. Colorful and memorable as they may be, they are but shallow postcards that cannot translate the chaotic density of all the learning and (self)questioning that resulted from this first live encounter with Africa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;Here in France, TV and radio waves are ablaze with the so-called "debate of French identity". In fact, one cannot hear any debate on this identity, or set of values, but only a debate on the debate itself; much ado about nothing, indeed. I believe that the best way to apprehend this identity, or any identy, is to depart, and put it to the test of the Other, and the Elsewhere.

An island off the maps, ignored by the police and the army and the tourist mobs. Not that it bothers the islanders who grow pot to put icing on their little cake.I too was unaware of its existence until Marco, an Italian angler, invited to share the “pirogue” (motor canoe) he had chartered with Maxime, a native of Kaïlo, to go after big fish. Two hours later, drifting in the mangrove maze of the tight archipelago, they had caught two. They called it a (bad) day and made for Kaïlo. We disembark on a small natural beach that sees hardly any trafic, aside from when the islanders go to the nearest coastal town, Kafountine, to buy necessities. We walk across small rice fields decorated with coconut and palm trees until we reach what seems to be a plaza: a fat baobab surrounded with five houses. While we shake hands with the men who were resting in the shade, a squadron of children seize our bags and equipment, load them up on their heads and backs and start towards the heart of the island where the chief’s house is. We follow them along a path paved with sea shells that winds between rice fields and into a little forest. Then we come out into a wide open plaza, with the school, the well, the chief’s house and several other dwellings, all of them built around a majestuous ancient baobab. Maxime takes us to his house and on a tour to meet the villagers, starting with Antoine, the heriditary chief. Then we meet men climbing to collect “palm wine”, children playing soccer, women tending to their marijuana gardens, and others returning from fishing or harvesting rice. This small community of 312 souls sees little outside interference besides the occasonial humanitarian group or pot buyer. Marco intends to return with tomatoe and green pepper seeds, because after all, he says, one cannot eat cannabis; indeed, these islanders need to import a lot of basic commodities. After night falls, only the moon lits our digestive walk. I express my sadness at having to leave the next day and they invite me to work as school teacher after Christmas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;Photos: The mangroves and Marco, my return to the Iron Age, Maxime and his niece, the village brats, and Maxime's sister's pot plantation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C’est bientôt Noël; faut boucler cette histoire et emballer les babioles sculptées dans le tek et l’ébène pour les poser sous le sapin glacé de Provence.Ca s’est plus ou moins terminé sur une île, Kaïlo, où j’ai failli rester (en exagérant un peu). Une île qui ne figure pas sur les cartes consultées. Une île que la police et l’armée négligent ou ignorent. Ca tombe bien, les villageois arrondissent leurs fins de mois en cultivant le chanvre indien, de son nom scientifique Cannabis indica Lam (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanvre). J’étais moi aussi ignorant de son existence jusqu’à une conversation avec Marco, un italien amateur de pêche qui m’invita à profiter de la pirogue qu’il avait affrétée pour marauder dans les archipels bordés de mangroves. Conduite par Maxime, un habitant de cette île mystérieuse, la pirogue serpente paresseusement dans ce labyrinthe. Deux malheureux poissons et deux heures plus tard, Marco et Maxime se résolvent à clore la session de pêche et nous accostons sur Kaïlo. Petite plage naturelle sans aménagement. Personne ne passe par ici, sauf les insulaires qui partent livrer leur marchandise sur la côte, à Kafountine. Nous traversons une petit rizière entourée de palmiers pour arriver à ce qui semble être un une place : un gros baobab et cinq maisons. A peine avons nous posons nos bagages et salué les quelques hommes présent qu’un ribambelle d’enfants nous entoure et se charge de tous nos paquets. Ils partent en file indienne le long d’un chemin pavé de coquillages qui s’enfonce dans la selve avant de serpenter au milieu d’un marécage. Devant nous, un autre bois de palmier, cocotiers, et fromagers qui révèle bientôt le vrai centre du village, lui aussi réparti autour d’un grande et belle place au centre de laquelle trône l’énorme baobab à palabres. Maxime nous présente au chef (héréditaire) du village, Antoine, et nous promène à la rencontre de la communauté. Nous croisons des hommes qui grimpent récolter de vin palme, des enfants qui jouent au foot, des femmes qui arrosent leur plans de chanvre indien, d’autres qui reviennent des rizières ou de la pêche. Ils sont 312 et vivent sans trop d’interférences de l’extérieur. Parfois des européens débarquent leur bâtir un réservoir d’eau ou leur amènent des livres. Marco, lui, pense revenir avec des plans de tomates et de poivrons car après tout le chanvre ne se mange pas, et les villageois doivent importer beaucoup de denrées. Pas d’électricité et le clair de lune seul accompagne nos conversations nocturnes. On m’invite à faire l’instituteur après Noël. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photos: Les mangoves et Marco, mon retour à l'âge du fer, Maxime et sa nièce, les garnements du village, et un POTager typique (les Québécois comprendront).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-7991510393447016953?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/7991510393447016953/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=7991510393447016953' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7991510393447016953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7991510393447016953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/12/casamance-iii-lile-de-la-tentation.html' title='Casamance III: Kaïlo, l&apos;île de la tentation'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Sy4GpX-bL8I/AAAAAAAAB5E/fo8ja4vyVv8/s72-c/DSC05281.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-5165392825803713360</id><published>2009-12-19T05:31:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-19T06:36:54.286-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Casamance II: Mlomp, the real thing</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

C’est de longue date que les Français se sont installés dans cette région, d’abord pour entreprendre l’infâme traite négrière, puis pour se prélasser sur les plages bordées de cocotiers et de mangroves (faut bien se reposer après deux siècles de pillages). Les Club Médeurs passent par dessus les tracas évoqués dans mon précédent article en se faisant directement déposer en avion à Cap Skirring, au sud de la Casamance.&lt;br /&gt;Mieux vaut se tenir à l'écart de toute zone colonisée par un Club Med si l’on veut avoir une chance d’effleurer une culture locale authentique. J’ai pas le budget de toute façon. Mais l’éminence grise de mon voyage, Olivier, m’a encore une fois permis de sortir des sentier de brousse battus. Son ami Eugène, amoureux de la Gazelle (bière locale se buvant au demi-litre) et moi nous sommes liés (autour de quelques Gazelles), et je me suis retrouvé invité à rencontrer sa famille en Casamance. (les sénégalais désignent aussi les filles sous le vocable de « gazelles »).&lt;br /&gt;Ziguichor n’est pas plus enchanteresse que n’importe quelle ville sénégalaise, et il importe d’en sortir rapidement. Eugène étant retenu au nord du pays, c’est son cousin François qui m’escorte vers leur petit village natal de Mlomp. A noter que, comme leur prénoms l’indiquent, Eugène et François Senghor font partie de la minorité chrétienne du Sénégal.&lt;br /&gt;L’arrivée à Mlomp est un soulagement, un bonheur d’entrer dans un village très traditionnel, enfoncé dans une nature luxuriante. Nous allons nous installer à la case familiale, faite de d’argile séchée. Nombreux sont ceux qui sont partis à la ville, et nous sommes accueillis par la matriarche, une vieille de cent deux ans qui tient solidement la forme et engueule les jeunes qui poursuivent les poulets pour leur arracher les plumes du cul (paraît que ça les fait grossir plus vite). Le village n’a pas l’électricité et faut marcher puis aller puiser l’eau. La douche est au seau d’eau et les fourmi patrouillent loin de leurs forteresses géantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photos: les photos d'arbres montrent des "fromagers", qui fournissent le bois dont on fait des pirogues. Au bord du puit, François. Un enfant du village me montre son livre de géographie à la lueur de la bougie. La fameuse case à deux étages de Mlomp. Eugène (au lendemain d'un excès de Gazelles) et moi. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CLEAR: both; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" class="separator"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CLEAR: both; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" class="separator"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CLEAR: both; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" class="separator"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CLEAR: both; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" class="separator"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; CLEAR: both; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" class="separator"&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Inspite of all the hardships involved in driving to Casamance, a fat Club Med has spawned at Cap Skirring, near the Guinean border (see map). But then again, Club Medders get effortlessly flown into the resort. Club Meds usually signal zones of fakeness and depravity that the traveler wants to avoid (in my conception of the term “traveler”). I know I might think differently if I reach a more venerable age. Fortunately, Olivier, the eminence grise of my trip, has once again enabled me walk outside of the beaten bushpaths. His friend Eugene and I have bonded over a few refreshing Gazelles; Eugene is a member of the Diola ethnic group, who are the majority in Casamance, and “Gazelle” refers to an animal, the national beer and… girls. Eugene insists I stay with his family in Ziguishor and that I accept to be escorted by his younger brother François as I explore the region. I abide by his will.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Zihuishor, as from Eugene’s family’s wonderful hospitality, as much less to offer than the traditional villages around. The native village of the Senghors (Eugene’s family) is Mlomp. Upon my arrival there, I beathe out a sigh of relief and marvel: adobe houses set into a lush vegetation of fromager trees and palm trees, rice fields, termite-mounds. Many of the Senghor clan have gone to the city to work or study. The one hundred and two year-old matriarch, still green, welcomes us to her large adobe cabin after scolding brats who were chasing her chickens. The village has no electricity and we have to go draw water from the distant well to fill our shower bucket. We dine and have tea by candle light, as a kid shows me Canada on his geography book.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: FRfont-family:'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Photos: The photos of trees show “fromagers”, which canoes are dug out of.

cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Des terres sableuses parsemées de baobabs du nord aux vertes forêts de fromagers, palmiers et autres mangroves du sud, il y a les 11 heures de taxi-brousse qui rallient Dakar à Ziguinchor, la capitale de la Casamance. Enclavée de l’autre côté de la Gambie, méprisée par le gouvernement de Dakar, dotée de routes calamiteuses et embarrassée par la présence de bandits de grands chemins abusivement appelés « rebelles », la Casamance a vu son tourisme décliner dans le début des années 2000. Depuis que l’armée a remis de l’ordre dans la région, et qu’un navire moderne (et géré par des étrangers) a remplacé celui qui a tué ses 1800 passagers en faisant naufrage en 2002 entre Dakar et Ziguinchor (notons que sa capacité était de 500 passagers), les choses vont mieux. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SylMCudOnBI/AAAAAAAAB2s/_f6oAa9nmwQ/s1600/DSC05197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SylMCudOnBI/AAAAAAAAB2s/_f6oAa9nmwQ/s320/DSC05197.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Olivier, marié à son boulot, ne peut m’accompagner. C’est donc seul que je me pointe vers les 6h du mat à la gare routière de Dakar, normalement un immense bordel asphalté de taxis, de bus bariolés, de vendeurs à la sauvette, de fumées noires, de voyageurs chargés, de gamins en quête d’une piécette ; à l’aube, c’est le calme plat. Je me dirige vers l’espace des « 7-places ». Le « 7-place », transport moins déglingué et inconfortable que le minibus sur-sur chargés, est un break Peugeot conçu pour 7, de 20 à 30 ans d’âge, qui accueille 8 personnes, histoire de garder un touche d’inconfort, question de principes. La route de Dakar à Ziguinchor présente quelques inconvénients :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;1- elle traverse la Gambie, ce qui implique de graisser la patte de pas mal de douaniers et de traverser le fleuve Gambie sur un bac vétuste. Les contretemps sont inévitables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;2- La route est déplorable sur de longues étendues, particulièrement au abords de la Gambie. On parle de routes goudronnées qui paraissent avoir été pilonnées au mortier tellement les trous sont larges et profonds. Les zigzags envoient pas mal de véhicules rouler dans les champs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;3- La présence de l’armée tout le long de la route (passé le fleuve et jusqu’à Ziguinchor), rassure mais implique que la menace des brigands « coupeurs de route » reste réelle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Au final, 10 heures de trajet pour couvrir les 470 km séparant Dakar de Ziguinchor, une petite torture nécessaire le bateau étant plein. Mais la Casamance allait en valoir la peine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photos: Les deux première montrent le contraste nord / sud évoqué au début du texte. Les deux suivantes présentent le 7-place (particulièrment bien conservé parmi ses semblables) et le bac de traversée. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;From the sandy stretches of the North, dry and planted with a few majestuous baobabs, to the lushier forests and mangroves of the south, lie the 11-hour Dakar-Ziguinchor bush-taxi ride. Ziguinchor is the capital of Casamance, a region reputed to be spectacularly beautiful; a region scorned by Dakar; a region enclaved on the other side of the Gambia, this odd country built around the eponymous river that runs across the middle of Senegal; a region embarrassed by lurking lawless highwaymen calling themselves “rebels”. A region made less accessible by the deplorable state of its roads; today a modern foreign-run ferryboat has replaced its infamous predecessor, the Joola, which sank with its 1800 passengers in 2002 (when its maximum legal capacity was 500).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;As Olivier is currently having a passionate affair with his work, I must take on this trek by myself. I get to the bus/cab station by 6 a.m. This place usually is everything I love in a third-world city: a dirty, noisy messy jungle of overloaded run-down vehicules, beggars, palstic bags, peddlers, and tired travelers. Today, at dawn, things are quieter. I reach the area dedicated to the “7-seaters”. This is the type of transportation that offers a little more comfort and safety than the colourful overcrowded buses. 7-seaters are 30 year-old Peugeot station wagons that seat… 8 people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Driving from Dakar to Ziguinchor presents a few inconveniences:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;1-&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The road cuts through Gambia, which involves greasing many palms at the various customs checks and crossing the Gambia river on a slow ferryboat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;2-&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The road, especially as you approach and leave Gambia, looks like it has recently been pounded by mortar artillery, so deep and wide the potholes are.

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Il est 7h45, 28 novembre, et les chants coraniques me réveillent en cette journée cruciale pour tous les musulmans sénégalais (ils composent 90% de la population) : la fête de la Tabaski.&lt;br /&gt;Encart Wikipédia : &lt;i&gt;Cette fête commémore la soumission d'Ibrahim à Dieu, symbolisée par l'épisode où il acceptait d'égorger son fils Ismaël sur l'ordre d'Allah, celui-ci envoyant au dernier moment un mouton par l'entremise de l'archange Gabriel pour remplacer l'enfant comme offrande sacrificielle. En souvenir de cette soumission totale d'Ibrahim à Dieu, les familles musulmanes sacrifient un mouton ou un bélier, mais parfois d'autres animaux comme des vaches ou des chèvres, en l'égorgeant, couché sur le flanc gauche et la tête tournée vers La Mecque, après la prière et le sermon de l'aïd.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donc vers les 8h30 je me rends en taxi dans le quartier de Diarraw, dans la ville de Thiès où je réside, pour participer avec la famille d’Abdel Khader, ami d’Olivier, à cette journée de bonne bouffe et de famille. Mais tous les jours semblent placés sous ces deux signes au Sénégal. Le taxi m’arrête un coin de rue trop loin car la voie est bloquée, mur à mur, par des hommes qui prient ; la mosquée est pleine. Il est bientôt 9h et je dois me grouiller car l’heure du sacrifice approche. Abdel Khader me présente à tous, en terminant par&amp;nbsp; le patriarche, gardien de prison au français impeccable et accusant une ressemblance marquée avec Morgan Freeman. Je le lui fais remarquer mais la référence lui échappe. Il regarde un vieux Barcelone-Madrid couché sur son lit en attendant l’heure fatidique. Les deux béliers on death row sont placides. Tandis que le premier se fait égorger dans un silence et un calme dérangeant (voir la vidéo sur facebook), le second rumine (seulement du foin, l’innocent !). Le sang des deux infortunés rempli bientôt un trou creusé dans la terre sableuse. Puis, les hommes, aidés des garçonnets, s’affairent à dépecer, vider et découper les carcasses. Ensuite ils ne foutront plus rien de la journée jusqu’au soir, car vient le tour des femmes de transformer les dites carcasses en délicieux plats agrémentés de riz, d’oignons, de frites et de tonnes de moutarde forte. Vers les 11h, c’est l’orgie à main nues après quoi les hommes paressent et font la sieste tandis que les femmes préparent le 2e round et nettoie le 1er. J’en profite pour prendre un cours de wolof. Le 2e round est assez similaire au premier mais les morceaux diffèrent. C’est délicieux, mais pourquoi tant de moutarde de Dijon ? On invoque ses vertus digestives. Quand la nuit tombe, vers les 19h, hommes et femmes revêtent leurs boubous (tenues traditionnelles spécialement taillées pour l’occasion), et se préparent à passer de maison en maison pour saluer tous les membres de leur communauté. Toutes les portes sont ouvertes et la différence et père et oncle, mère et tante, frère et cousin est encore plus floue que d’habitude. Je n’avais pas mon boubou. Bouh !&lt;br /&gt;(le seul toubab sur les photos est ce cher Olivier.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"&gt;&lt;/meta&gt;&lt;meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"&gt;&lt;/meta&gt;&lt;meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Generator"&gt;&lt;/meta&gt;&lt;meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Originator"&gt;&lt;/meta&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5COlivier%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;o:smarttagtype name="City" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"&gt;&lt;/o:smarttagtype&gt;&lt;o:smarttagtype name="place" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"&gt;&lt;/o:smarttagtype&gt;&lt;o:smarttagtype name="metricconverter" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"&gt;&lt;/o:smarttagtype&gt;&lt;style&gt;&lt;!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal	{mso-style-parent:"";	margin:0cm;	margin-bottom:.0001pt;	mso-pagination:widow-orphan;	font-size:12.0pt;	font-family:"Times New Roman";	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";	mso-ansi-language:FR;	mso-fareast-language:FR;}a:link, span.MsoHyperlink	{color:blue;	text-decoration:underline;	text-underline:single;}a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed	{color:purple;	text-decoration:underline;	text-underline:single;}@page Section1	{size:595.3pt 841.9pt;	margin:70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt;	mso-header-margin:35.4pt;	mso-footer-margin:35.4pt;	mso-paper-source:0;}div.Section1	{page:Section1;}--&gt;&lt;/style&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;It is eight a.m. and the muezzin’s call to prayer wakes me up. Though it’s a little different today; for 90% of Senegalese families, today is Tabaski, a most celebrated Muslim holiday. Impossible to find an available cab, and when I get one, he charges me double. Never mind; there is no time to lose as Abdel Khader, a friend of Oliver, has invited me to spend this special day with his family, and they won’t delay the sheep slaughter for me. What does Wikipedia have to say about Tabaski? Go to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha&lt;/a&gt; if you wish to know.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;We are in Thies, a city of 300&amp;nbsp;000 souls, &lt;st1:metricconverter productid="70 km" w:st="on"&gt;70 km&lt;/st1:metricconverter&gt; east of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Dakar&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Up until last night, sheep were everywhere. Today the sandy streets of the Diarraw neighbourhood seem deserted. Not quite. My cab soon has to stop as the street is blocked wall to wall by men kneeling in prayer; the mosque’s full. Abdel Khader intercepts me and shows me to his family’s home. I get introduced to everyone (about a dozen men and women, and a half dozen children) finishing with the patriarch, a Morgan Freeman lookalike who leisurely watches a Spanish premier league game on tv. Not particularly nervous about directing and executing the slaughtering of the two sheep that are dozing in the courtyard, oblivious of their impending fate. Soon the men drag the first near a hole dug into the sandy dirt. They cut its throat and blood gushes out and down into the whole. From the beast, not a scream, not a sound, hardly any movement. The calmness of the scene is disturbing. Meanwhile, victim number two keeps dozing. Once the skinning, emptying and cutting of both carcasses is done, men can devote their energies to waiting for lunch to be ready. Women take over and soon a large dish of rice, fries, onions and grilled mutton is presented to… the men and boys. Women eat from a different dish. We wolf everything down in minutes. I had never eaten the meat of an animal so soon after stroking it live. Strange feeling. End of round one (noon). Men go take a nap and women… prepare round two. I use my nap time sitting with them learning some wolof and recipes. Today the Senegalese women love to cook with Maggi cubes and to spread their meat with Dijon Mustard. The second dish is served at around 5:30 and is just as delicious (and mustard intensive) as the first. At dusk, around 7 pm, everyone dons their finest boubou, specially tailored for this special day, and goes from house to house, visiting parents and neighbours, eating more meat, drinking more sweet mint tea.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6265282010800874686?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6265282010800874686/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6265282010800874686' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6265282010800874686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6265282010800874686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/12/tabaski.html' title='Tabaski'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SxW44WrZDzI/AAAAAAAAB10/yFw-Pmbrkog/s72-c/DSC05138.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-6530860797093751647</id><published>2009-11-27T07:17:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T10:19:34.724-05:00</updated><title type='text'>12 days later</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

height: 300px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je reprends le fil du récit 12 jours après être atterri au Sénégal. J’ai toujours du mal à organiser l’info, mais j’ai fait quelques avancées : je peux échanger quelques amabilités en wolof et Eugène Senghor, un ami d’Olivier, a entrepris de m’enseigner les rudiments du Diola, une langue de Casamance (région du sud du pays). J’ai pu enfin conclure quelques deals avantageux (du moins me plait-il de le croire) après avoir appris de quelques arnaques. Ca va être un Noël sénégalais en Provence !&lt;br /&gt;Demain 28 novembre ce sera la grande fête musulmane de la Tabaski, au cours de laquelle chaque homme doit égorger un mouton en hommage au sacrifice d’Abraham. Il y a des moutons partout : dans les rue, les marchés et les cours. Ca va être un massacre, et je suis invité ; je vous promets une vidéo gore.&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, voici quelques cliché plus vivants des bestioles croisées dans les parcs de Djoudj (frontière mauritanienne) et Bandia (sud de Dakar).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I resume this chronicle some twelve days after landing in Africa. I can now exchange niceties in wolof and Eugene, a friend of Olivier’s, has started teaching me the basics of Diola, a language from Casamance (a region south of Senegal). A remarkably logical language, by the way. I have also sharpened my bargaining skills (after getting financially bruised in the first week) and can announce a Senegalese Christmas in Provence !&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, November 28, hundreds of thousands of sheep shall be slaughtered to pay tribute to Abraham’s biblical sacrifice. There will be blood, and I am invited to bear witness. Prepare for gory pictures !&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, how about some more lively photos of wild animals encountered in the Djoudj and Bandia national parks ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6530860797093751647?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6530860797093751647/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6530860797093751647' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6530860797093751647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6530860797093751647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/11/12-days-later.html' title='12 days later'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Sw_MnKUe5UI/AAAAAAAABy8/VnsvhbWGNz8/s72-c/DSC05060.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-7624837316807522181</id><published>2009-11-25T09:51:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T07:16:40.128-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Toubab for me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Sw1GL05IExI/AAAAAAAAByE/3nNJW4ShoB4/s1600/DSC05013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Sw1GL05IExI/AAAAAAAAByE/3nNJW4ShoB4/s400/DSC05013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408055896532587282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment faire le tri dans l’amas confus de cette première semaine au Sénégal (et en Afrique)? Premier bilan : mes selles sont saines, je me suis fait dûment (mais pas durement) arnaquer une paire de fois, j’ai appris beaucoup et rencontré encore plus.  Olivier, l’ami qui m’a invité au Sénégal, a été un incroyable lubrifiant social et culturel. Grâce à lui, j’ai pu rapidement percer la surface touristique et pénétrer les cercles locaux, ceux des « toubabs » expatriés et ceux des Sénégalais qui l’ont accepté comme un frère. Devant ce blondin qui marchande en wolof et se passe de pilules anti paludiques, j’assume l’humilité du pied-tendre.&lt;br /&gt;Lors de cette première semaine, je n’ai passé avec lui qu’une journée à Dakar et une autre à Thiès, avant qu’il ne m’envoie faire le touriste au nord du pays, à Saint Louis, pour pouvoir finir de bosser tranquille.  Pour ne rien oublier, il me faudrait parler de la chaleur des jours et de la douceur des nuit, des taxis Peugeot/Renault déglingués, des campagnes de terre sableuse ponctuées de baobabs, de beautés noires aux habits colorés, des appels à la prière qui servent de réveille-matin, des missionnaires de la coopération internationale, des marabouts et leurs confréries musulmanes, des leçons de marchandages apprises au prix de menues arnaques, des mots wolofs baragouinés avec peine, des vieux qui me racontent le pays, du grand massacre de moutons qui approche, des plats frits dans l’huile d’arachide…&lt;br /&gt;Demain peut-être, inch’Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twelve days have passed since I set foot in Africa; I am at a loss to digest and organize the mounds of emotions and information I have swallowed so far.&lt;br /&gt;This first check up reveals that my feces are healthy, that I was kindly swindled a couple of times, that I have encountered surprinsing men, women and animals, that this is the best season to visit Senegal, and that Olivier, my friend and host, has proved to be a wonderful social and cultural lubricant. Thanks to him, I've been able to penetrate circles that are out of reach for the unconnected visitors. Faced with this blondie who bargains in wolof and goes without anti malaria medication, I bow down as the humble greenhorn that I am. &lt;br /&gt;Not to forget anything, I should address the heat of days and warmth of nights, the banged up Renault/Peugeot cabs, the baobab-spangled bush coutry, the slender beauty of women, the wake-up calls to prayer, the swindles and bargaining contests, the words of wolof sputtered with difficulty, the approaching sheep holocaust of Tabaski, the delicious fish dishes, the thunderous but warm Atlantic waves...&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow I'start, Inch'Allanh&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-7624837316807522181?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/7624837316807522181/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=7624837316807522181' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7624837316807522181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/7624837316807522181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/11/toubab-for-me.html' title='Toubab for me'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Sw1GL05IExI/AAAAAAAAByE/3nNJW4ShoB4/s72-c/DSC05013.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-8594908936450858931</id><published>2009-11-05T11:55:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T13:24:15.217-05:00</updated><title type='text'>La Loire des Lonqueu</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHp1yzYimI/AAAAAAAABv0/Z1J5UW7I9dU/s1600-h/DSC04880.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHp1yzYimI/AAAAAAAABv0/Z1J5UW7I9dU/s320/DSC04880.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHp_3QG1LI/AAAAAAAABv8/q_MHUgbpXbA/s1600-h/DSC04886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHp_3QG1LI/AAAAAAAABv8/q_MHUgbpXbA/s320/DSC04886.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqIGMNE-I/AAAAAAAABwE/pnPH54HCLUQ/s1600-h/DSC04891.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqIGMNE-I/AAAAAAAABwE/pnPH54HCLUQ/s320/DSC04891.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ayant épuisé la patience de ma soeur en Lorraine (voir article précédent), je compris qu'il était temps de poursuivre ma campagne de couchsurfing (aussi appelé incrusting) italo-française. En partant de Lorraine pour arriver du côté des Châteaux de la Loire, au centre de la France, je décidai de suivre les pas de Jeanne d'Arc. Ici un flashback est nécéssaire: les parents de ma chère colocataire et amie Elodie vinrent passer quelques jours au Québec en août et, aprés avoir rangé sa chambre, visité le pays et distribué foie gras et champagne avec une largesse toute beaucienne, il ont malencontreusement laissé échapper une invitation que j'ai saisie au vol, tel l'épervier à col roux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Ainsi, en ce 28 octobre, Pascal et Catherine m'acceuillaient à la ferme ancestrale des Lonqueu. Grâce à eux j'allais découvrir les joies de la campagne beaucienne: le rally-tracteur dans le matin brumeux, le parc et le château de Chambord, les rives sauvages de la Loire, la peuplerie des frères Arnaud et Fabien, et quelques délices tout à fait locaux tel que le hamburger savoyard double fromage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHs75BC9uI/AAAAAAAABwk/qHmtdZOhosQ/s1600-h/carte-france-map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHs75BC9uI/AAAAAAAABwk/qHmtdZOhosQ/s200/carte-france-map.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHrPPnsnvI/AAAAAAAABwc/FovVcHWJN_8/s1600/DSC04882.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: right; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHrPPnsnvI/AAAAAAAABwc/FovVcHWJN_8/s320/DSC04882.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqSe9Ho5I/AAAAAAAABwU/IFkby3sayPE/s1600-h/DSC04907.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqSe9Ho5I/AAAAAAAABwU/IFkby3sayPE/s320/DSC04907.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqLmm8g1I/AAAAAAAABwM/S1k9Dh3_GU4/s1600-h/DSC04900.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHqLmm8g1I/AAAAAAAABwM/S1k9Dh3_GU4/s200/DSC04900.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The universe is infinite but is sisterly love so? I decided not to test my sister's patience and hit the road after five memorable days in her company. Following Joan of Arc's footsteps, I carpooled to the shores of the river Loire, not too far from Orleans, where my friend Elodie's parents live. They had invited me to visit as they vacationed in Quebec in August, unknowing that, as a rabid couchsurfer, I would soon knock on their door. A fine door indeed, with a beautiful, ancient farm around it, and hundreds of hectares of cultivated land around the farm. Thanks to Catherine and Pascal, I was&amp;nbsp;able to discover the joys of riding&amp;nbsp;a tractor in the morning mist, and of riding a rusty bike through the royal park of Chambord and along the preserved shores of the Loire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-8594908936450858931?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/8594908936450858931/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=8594908936450858931' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8594908936450858931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8594908936450858931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/11/la-loire-des-lonqueu.html' title='La Loire des Lonqueu'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SvHp1yzYimI/AAAAAAAABv0/Z1J5UW7I9dU/s72-c/DSC04880.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-7291029559190843478</id><published>2009-11-02T14:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T14:23:51.887-05:00</updated><title type='text'>L'Alsace à croquer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3RCR0YcRI/AAAAAAAABus/fmA-M4jouSs/s1600-h/DSC04844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3RCR0YcRI/AAAAAAAABus/fmA-M4jouSs/s200/DSC04844.JPG" style="cursor: move;" unselectable="on" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3P3YPhtWI/AAAAAAAABuU/pwGllErGo88/s1600-h/DSC04856.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3P3YPhtWI/AAAAAAAABuU/pwGllErGo88/s200/DSC04856.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3xHh8lBrI/AAAAAAAABu0/wUgZ4TBSV5A/s1600-h/DSC04852.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3xHh8lBrI/AAAAAAAABu0/wUgZ4TBSV5A/s320/DSC04852.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3PH_aT_4I/AAAAAAAABt8/rU0OcGvINqI/s1600-h/DSC04843.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3PH_aT_4I/AAAAAAAABt8/rU0OcGvINqI/s200/DSC04843.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3PLOv_d1I/AAAAAAAABuE/GO7cf4cvQuU/s1600-h/DSC04851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3PLOv_d1I/AAAAAAAABuE/GO7cf4cvQuU/s320/DSC04851.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3QWmnSZcI/AAAAAAAABuk/l5BrOK-PbhM/s1600-h/DSC04873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su3QWmnSZcI/AAAAAAAABuk/l5BrOK-PbhM/s200/DSC04873.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su8xgmWu1WI/AAAAAAAABvs/04oRpKYHTaQ/s1600-h/carte-france-map2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su8xgmWu1WI/AAAAAAAABvs/04oRpKYHTaQ/s200/carte-france-map2.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ma chère soeur m'emmène découvrir quelques beaux coins d'Alsace: Colmar, Eguisheim, Kaiserberg.

It's also been&amp;nbsp;my sister's chosen home since she moved up there as a heavy metal pilgrim some seven years ago. Now she's found balance with a man who can wield his guitar as well as he can cook pizzas in Nancy, the city where the Art Nouveau&amp;nbsp;artisitic style was born in the 1890s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-4875349350120355399?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/4875349350120355399/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=4875349350120355399' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4875349350120355399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4875349350120355399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/11/en-passant-par-la-lorraine-avec-mes.html' title='En passant par la Lorraine avec mes sabots (et ma soeur)'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Su309uP29MI/AAAAAAAABvU/oX3O9g9Jgzc/s72-c/DSC04810.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-1300860065084386159</id><published>2009-10-27T16:00:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-29T13:30:42.907-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Les spaghetti bolognaise sont un mythe!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOGX2uB6I/AAAAAAAABtk/4RbBP8Av8zg/s1600-h/DSC04781.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397368549816534946" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOGX2uB6I/AAAAAAAABtk/4RbBP8Av8zg/s320/DSC04781.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFxyAj9I/AAAAAAAABtU/A8qhguLT3Io/s1600-h/DSC04791.JPG" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397368539596230610" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFxyAj9I/AAAAAAAABtU/A8qhguLT3Io/s400/DSC04791.JPG" style="height: 150px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOGFN9tQI/AAAAAAAABtc/-FU3jcBDJfs/s1600-h/DSC04800.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397368544813757698" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOGFN9tQI/AAAAAAAABtc/-FU3jcBDJfs/s400/DSC04800.JPG" style="height: 150px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFnYkZ2I/AAAAAAAABtM/YtBofF5JU4g/s1600-h/DSC04777.JPG" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397368536805173090" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFnYkZ2I/AAAAAAAABtM/YtBofF5JU4g/s400/DSC04777.JPG" style="height: 200px; width: 150px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFdMJC7I/AAAAAAAABtE/CCoMWeaVKOY/s1600-h/DSC04782.JPG" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397368534068693938" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SudOFdMJC7I/AAAAAAAABtE/CCoMWeaVKOY/s320/DSC04782.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Bologne et les Bolognais nient en bloc: les spaghetti sauce rouge avec viande n'ont rien à voir avec Bologne, et ils en profitent pour ajouter que la sauce Alfredo est inconnue en Italie -du moins sous ce nom. Ces faits, la cousine Julia me les a servis preuves à l'appui quand elle m'a emmené à Bologne où elle étudie. Cela ferait 800 ans que Bologne est pleine d'étudiant, ce qui en fait le lieu de naissance de la première université européene. Bologne, une autre ville-musée qui ravira tout amateur de médiévaleries. Au fait, il semblerait que Bologne soit plus connue pour sa lasagne aux épinards...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bologne's denizens and Italians at large deny the existence of such a thing as "Bolognese sauce spaghetti", and add the "Alfredo Sauce" to the basket of foreign myths. On the other hand, Bologna offers succulent green lasagna and more medieval mystery than you can handle.

Une foule énorme, un bordel monstre, des tonnes de chocolat; ça nous ferait presque rater la beauté de Perugia. Ses rues étroites, ses églises&amp;nbsp;et&amp;nbsp;autres magnifiques palais témoignent de la gloire médiévale de la ville,&amp;nbsp;centre religieux et universitaire dès le 14e siècle. Difficile penser culture quand une scène offre&amp;nbsp; le spectacle d'ouvriers massacrant un mètre cube de chocolat noir à la perceuse, au pic à glace, au marteau, avant que les précieux éclats ne soient distribuésà la foule salivante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sweet cousin Cristina and her Daniele of a fidanzato are kind enough to take me for a car ride through the foresty hills of Umbria, where colours were stating to change, up to Perugia, the magnificent medieval capital of this province. On this chilly Sunday, 18 of October, an insane crowd has filled the ancient streets to savour&amp;nbsp; the 2009&amp;nbsp; Eurochocolate festival, one that gathers Europe's finest chocolatiers. Fine tablets and massive blocks of back gold are hacked, hammered and dealt out to the hungry crowd.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-1965330440191833824?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/1965330440191833824/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=1965330440191833824' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1965330440191833824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1965330440191833824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/10/eurochocolate-in-perugia.html' title='Eurochocolate in Perugia'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SuLfRfrp4HI/AAAAAAAABsU/qz7BQTueJzw/s72-c/DSC04734.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-7588476655311917852</id><published>2009-10-16T05:56:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T06:04:09.951-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Italia marchiginanna</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6hhoh_DI/AAAAAAAABr0/V6pNHaY2DxQ/s1600-h/DSC04679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6hhoh_DI/AAAAAAAABr0/V6pNHaY2DxQ/s320/DSC04679.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5evu4CtI/AAAAAAAABrE/aP17ClHuy10/s1600-h/DSC04676.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5evu4CtI/AAAAAAAABrE/aP17ClHuy10/s320/DSC04676.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5rHN7ZYI/AAAAAAAABrM/ctrWnvQUstQ/s1600-h/DSC04678.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5rHN7ZYI/AAAAAAAABrM/ctrWnvQUstQ/s320/DSC04678.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5yBt60TI/AAAAAAAABrU/wFFoRZeu6Sg/s1600-h/DSC04682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5yBt60TI/AAAAAAAABrU/wFFoRZeu6Sg/s320/DSC04682.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5-uhbn1I/AAAAAAAABrc/MfUWV1SRNdg/s1600-h/DSC04685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg5-uhbn1I/AAAAAAAABrc/MfUWV1SRNdg/s320/DSC04685.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6KHzQy0I/AAAAAAAABrk/-tWaAmCddDQ/s1600-h/DSC04699.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6KHzQy0I/AAAAAAAABrk/-tWaAmCddDQ/s320/DSC04699.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6VUe1dcI/AAAAAAAABrs/K7M2XCkoIh4/s1600-h/DSC04694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Stg6VUe1dcI/AAAAAAAABrs/K7M2XCkoIh4/s320/DSC04694.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"Le Marche" (prononcer marké), ou "les marches" en français, est la région qui est à l'Adriatique ce que la Toscane est à la Tyrrhénienne. Une région du centre au douce collines cultivées, surmontées de villages fortifiés médiévaux qui contemplent la mer. C'est de là que sont venu mes grands-parents maternels, et que vivent toujours une foule de grands oncles, tantes et cousin(e)s. J'y arrive le 12 Octobre, alors que les champs viennent d'etre labourés pour l'hiver et que l'Europe entière subit une abrupte transition d'un été tardif à un hiver précoce. De 25 degrès lundi à 14 mardi. Les ballades en vélo sur les collines n'en restent pas moins savoureuses, bien que dures pour les mollets car les routes ne serpentent pas: elles attaquent les "douces collines" sus-citées en ligne droite. Le paysage n'est pas très éloigné de celui de la Provence, mais ici les villages perchés sont presque tous entourés de murailles faites de briquettes rouges, que l'on retrouve dans quasi toutes les constructions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SthD4bLFFKI/AAAAAAAABsE/PGU1eZcgK9I/s320/mappa_italia_2.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;photos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;1) vue sur Fano et la mer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3) le monastère de Monte Giove, un bon repos après un arrachage de mollets&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;4) la porte du village de Mombaroccio, aussi vu sur la 5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;6) chat de garde sur les mur de Saltara, aussi vu sur la 7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;"Le Marche" are the Adriatic reflection of Tuscany. The same harmony between nature and human dwellings is to be found here, and more and more tourists seem to have noticed. This being said, as a lingering summer gives way to an early winter, I am almost alone&amp;nbsp;riding up the hills and into fortified medieval villages. Notice the ubiquitous red bricks and the impressive walls. The beauty of the sights from the highly perched villages is well worth the thigh-splitting bike-climbing of these seemingly gentle hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Etant en ce moment en villégiature dans la maison provençale de mes parents, je tue le temps comme je peux sous le chaud soleil de ce beau pays : pétanque, vélo entre les vignobles, et re-re-re lecture des bouquins d’enfance, et de vieux albums photos pré-numériques. Je vous livre quelques clichés de mes années chevelues ; vous allez vous marrer. Cela commence avec mon année d’étude à Galway en Irlande, alors que j’avais vingt ans. C’est ce séjour qui m’a ouvert au monde et au voyage, car à Galway je me suis lié avec d’autres étudiants étranger tels que Toshiro le Hollandais (l’autre chevelu), Iina la Finlandaise (la fille chat) ou Minodora la New Yorkaise et bien d’autres. C’est aussi là-bas qu’au contact de toutes ces nationalités j’ai appris à me définir, à me faire tatouer, et à tomber (mal)amoureux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Photos (cliquez pour agrandir):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;1) téléphone très irlandais, et en dessous Toshiro et Iina &lt;br /&gt;2) Séance de posage éhonté dans le cimetière de Galway&lt;br /&gt;3)Noël à la finlandaise avec Toshiro et Iina, avec une vue sur la falaise de Moher.&lt;br /&gt;4) Ballade dans le Connemara sans la brume&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;5) Mon tout premier Halloween, et je me la pète pas qu’un peu ; visez le pantalon de cuir. Tout le monde était sous champignons cueillis à même les bouses de vaches locales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;6 et 7) Randonnée dans le Connemara, lande brumeuse à la terre noire. On a trouvé refuge, perdus et trempés que nous étions à la nuit tombée, dans une grange que nous a ouvert un paysan bien roux qui ne parlais que gaëlique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;After Slow Paris, here is slow Provence ; this magnificent region happens to be hot and sunny this year even as September is drwing to an end. While others nap I while away the time playing pétanque, biking between vineyards and perusing old comics and photo albums from before the digital age. I thought some of you might be amused by some shots of my hairy days. It begins with my seminal study year in Galway, Ireland. I turned twenty there, and through making friends from many nations, I learned to know myself and opened the way for future travels. I also got tatooed and dumped for the first time. I actually got tatooed after I got dumped.&lt;br /&gt;Photos (click to enlarge):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) Irish phoning, Toshiro from Holland and Iina from Finland&lt;br /&gt;2) posing away in Galway cemetary&lt;br /&gt;3) Christmas with my good friends Toshiro and Iina.&lt;br /&gt;4) exploring Ireland by car&lt;br /&gt;5) My first Halloween party ever, in the country where the legend was born; high on mush, I felt very evil in my leather pants. Minodora from New York in the blue dress, Toshiro as a Satanic priest and one Irish mathematician in a white shirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;6 and 7) Hiking across misty and rainy Connemara. Signs being in Gaelic Irish, we got lost, drenched and found shelter in a wet cow barn that a friendly moustachioed farmer who hardly spoke any English opened for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SsDelVrwqTI/AAAAAAAABps/xeq96MJq_hs/s1600-h/Ireland_fall_96_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SsDelVrwqTI/AAAAAAAABps/xeq96MJq_hs/s400/Ireland_fall_96_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SsDfczpZCrI/AAAAAAAABp0/GHeWZ0-l-0Q/s1600-h/Ireland_fall_96_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SsDfczpZCrI/AAAAAAAABp0/GHeWZ0-l-0Q/s320/Ireland_fall_96_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6133110146847673876?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6133110146847673876/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6133110146847673876' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6133110146847673876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6133110146847673876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/09/lashback-to-heavymetal-hair-days.html' title='Flashback to heavymetal hair days : Ireland 1996'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SsuNqykk2tI/AAAAAAAABqs/k9-5w2BvJm4/s72-c/ireland-map.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-4454060232678076015</id><published>2009-09-22T15:07:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T13:25:03.884-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Slow Paris</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdb-pZbWI/AAAAAAAABoM/I02i7DWrMi4/s1600-h/DSC04524.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdb-pZbWI/AAAAAAAABoM/I02i7DWrMi4/s320/DSC04524.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrozhmIlORI/AAAAAAAABos/bJ_OgwaClCs/s1600-h/DSC04527.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384672956740090130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrozhmIlORI/AAAAAAAABos/bJ_OgwaClCs/s320/DSC04527.JPG" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;L’histoire de ces dix mois de vadrouille sabbatique commence à Paris à la mi septembre 2009. Apparemment, outre une valise de 24 kg, j’ai aussi ramené un virus de Montréal, vu le rhume poisseux qui me tenaille. Je débarque en banlieue de Paris, à Fontenay sous Bois, chez mes amis David et Marie et leurs filles Lucie et Louise, et note en les revoyant que cela fait dix ans que je vis au Canada à présent ; en effet, je les ai rencontrés en septembre 1999 à Toronto, alors que nous travaillons Marie et moi comme assistants de langue pour University of Toronto’s St Michael’s College. En bon apatride, je suis resté faire ma vie à Montréal, et eux ont poursuivi leur chemin de Bretons qui les a menés à la capitale la plus belle du monde, Paris, titre qui ne souffre aucune discussion. Marie est comme moi prof d’anglais tandis que David, après avoir caressé de vaines ambitions intellectuelles, a choisi de devenir le bras armé de la justice parisienne, dans le corps de la police judiciaire (voir la photo de son équipe, digne d’une annonce de série télé). Il m’a ainsi permis de faire un safari banlieue chaude saupoudré de statistiques politiquement incorrectes (« le taux de criminalité du secteur chute brutalement durant le ramadan »), une course de bagnole au gyrophare (voir vidéo) et des transport en commun au frais de la république.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J’ai pu surtout grâce à eux savourer la douceur de lentes ballades en famille à travers des beautés de Paris telles que le parc de Versailles ou les bords de Seine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrkdpANAMsI/AAAAAAAABok/9igU9uf-fZU/s1600-h/DSC04505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrkdpANAMsI/AAAAAAAABok/9igU9uf-fZU/s320/DSC04505.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrkdP_RK_FI/AAAAAAAABoE/BBhk1Xpp0jQ/s1600-h/DSC04490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SrkdP_RK_FI/AAAAAAAABoE/BBhk1Xpp0jQ/s320/DSC04490.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I begin the narrative of my ten-month sabbatical in Paris in mid September with a 24-kilo suitcase, a runny nose and sunny skies. There is a feeling of completion as I meet my friends and hosts: David and Marie, a couple from Brittany that I met ten years ago in Toronto as we worked together as T.A.’s for the French Department of St Micheal’s College. I was to spend the next ten years in Montreal while they went their way to serve the French Republic respectively as English teacher and police detective in (or in the suburbs of) the most gorgeous capital on Earth. Thanks to David’s being an armed dealer of justice, licenced to pop knees and run red lights, I was allowed to go on a safari through the crime-ridden peripheral districts and speed through the streets against the traffic with sirens going full blast (see video). I later learned to slow down and savour family walks with their little girls through le parc de Versailles or along the Seine river banks, sceneries that few cities, if any, can match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img height="72" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdk3A523I/AAAAAAAABoc/JmGsPqAGtBY/s320/DSC04520.JPG" style="filter: alpha(opacity=30); left: 357px; mozopacity: 0.3; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 190px; visibility: hidden;" width="96" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdk3A523I/AAAAAAAABoc/JmGsPqAGtBY/s1600-h/DSC04520.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; height: 193px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; width: 269px;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdk3A523I/AAAAAAAABoc/JmGsPqAGtBY/s320/DSC04520.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkc-jCIyCI/AAAAAAAABn0/SwzpPDlt4uo/s320/DSC04467.JPG" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkc-jCIyCI/AAAAAAAABn0/SwzpPDlt4uo/s1600-h/DSC04467.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Photos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;1) Mon sésame pour les transports parisiens 2) Mousquetaires de Louis XIII et courtisan de Louis XV aux Invalides 3) no comment 4) Marie, David, Lucie et louise au parc de la Villette 4) David's CSI team 6) Vue sur le Quai d'Orsay (ministère de l'intérieur)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-4454060232678076015?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/4454060232678076015/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=4454060232678076015' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4454060232678076015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4454060232678076015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/09/slow-paris.html' title='Slow Paris'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Srkdb-pZbWI/AAAAAAAABoM/I02i7DWrMi4/s72-c/DSC04524.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-5466686607305753424</id><published>2009-09-08T11:31:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-08T13:21:22.998-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Canotage et flatulences sur la rivière Jacques-Cartier</title><content type='html'>Nous partîmes six -deux baroudeurs et quatre quasi bleus, cinq Français et trois Canadiens (oui, il y a une logique derrière ces chiffres)- en ce début de septembre, pour une randonnée aquatique ensoleillée et à priori sans grand danger sur la rivière Jacques Cartier, un peu au nord de la ville de Québec. Dans ce parc, le camping n'est pas très sauvage, pas plus que la rivière elle-même en cette saison d'eaux basses, mais les paysages sont superbes. Malgré le faible débit, les rapides nous auraient valu quelques gamelles mémorables sans le savoir-faire de nos chevronnés maîtres-pagayeurs Sébastien et Martin (photographiés en train de faire le plein de rouge en fin de parcours). L'épreuve la plus intense fut de rivaliser avec les performances flatulatoires de l'équipe Garonnaise formée par Antoine et Guillaume, deux véritables turbines à méthane qui n'avaient pas besoin de mots pour se parler. Autant dire que la proximité de toute flamme devenait un danger, ainsi que l'espace confiné des tentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqZ4aD9iE7I/AAAAAAAABm4/hFBdbIu6-ZE/s1600-h/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" mq="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqZ4aD9iE7I/AAAAAAAABm4/hFBdbIu6-ZE/s320/2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqZ3yUbAX5I/AAAAAAAABmQ/djUuvWu0_C0/s1600-h/DSC04290.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" mq="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqZ3yUbAX5I/AAAAAAAABmQ/djUuvWu0_C0/s320/DSC04290.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;When six grown men take off to the tame wilderness of the Jacques-Cartier national parc, north of Quebec City, and when no woman is around to put their natural lack of class in check, degeneration ensues. But they sure paddle faster. With the help of seasoned canoeists Martin and Sébastien (shown above fueling up on red wine), the rest of us four greenhorns made it through the tricky rapids, even though the stream flow wasn't tremendous. The real test of manhood took place around the camp fire, when a symphony of flatulence broke the eerie quietude of the forest. I could not compete with the gaseous prowess of Antoine and Guillaume, who developed it in the depth of the "terroir" of southwestern France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqZ3_jlDE4I/AAAAAAAABmg/Aum1Cqy89pI/s1600-h/DSC04295.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Je précise que je suis coincé 3 jours de trop ici car une étudiante s'est fait voler le sac contenant son passeport 5 minutes avant de monter dans le bus qui nous ramenait à l'aéroport pour le retour à Montréal et ce, un vendredi soir. La merde.&lt;br /&gt;Parlons de la dernière semaine, après les cours suivi dans la ville argentine de Rosario. Nous sommes allé passer trois jours chez le petit voisin de l''Argentine, l'Uruguay. Une nation de seulement 3 millions d'habitants dont la moitié vit dans la capitale, Montevideo. En fait, un état tampon créé au 19e siècle entre les possessions espagnoles  et portugaises au sud et au nord du Rio de la Plata. Colonia, la petite ville sur les photos de cette entrée, a changé 9 fois de mains entre Portugais et Espagnols au gré des guerres européennes, et se retrouve auourd'hui patrimoine mondial classé par l'Unesco. Les Uruguayens, presque encore plus que les Argentins, sont de grands consommateurs de l'herbe mate (maté) (voir la charmante photo du couple au bord du fleuve.

Une seule direction, le sud, pour célébrer la résurrection du Christ sous forme de bourgeons et de fleurs blanches dans les arbres de Nouvelle Angleterre. C'est toujours une période incertaine ou les jours moites et froids alternent avec les ciels bleus et purs. Ce fut le cas cette année encore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SeNX5XdB5rI/AAAAAAAABfs/2bxYqs-5Pqo/s1600-h/DSC03610.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324195827541993138" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SeNX5XdB5rI/AAAAAAAABfs/2bxYqs-5Pqo/s200/DSC03610.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 200px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 150px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;J'ai eu la chance de me faire prêter un apart sur le coin de Adelphi et Lafayette. La condition: nourrir la bête fauve que vous voyez en photo. Bon deal, même si j'ai dû jouer au chercheur de pépites dans la litière avant de partir... Le voyage s'est fait en voiture louée en compagnie d'Élodie, ma coloc, et jennifer, une amie de Corey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;La maison blanc crême coicée entre une rose et une verte, c'est là où je crêchais. Corey et Karen habitent dans le même secteur, et nous ont guidée et reçu à notre arrivée. Corey m'a aussi annoncé que j'avais le job à Bishop's cet été, ce qui est venu pas mal chambouler mes préoccupations immédiates. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grâce à eux aussi, nous avons pu aller voir un spectacle étonnant sur les bord de l'East River, dans une salle située sous la naissance du Pont de Brooklyn. Un opéra classique en italien mélangé avec une parodie de film de science-fiction de série B (voir l'affiche).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mais le plus clair de mon temps lors de ma journée à Brooklyn fut consacré à un inlassable déambulange dans Brooklyn; intervention des pompiers, musée, brownstone houses, waterfront view sur Manhattan etc. Notez quelques exemple d'art africain et africain-américain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-2307095257640389475?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/2307095257640389475/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=2307095257640389475' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/2307095257640389475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/2307095257640389475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2009/04/brooklyn-2009.html' title='Brooklyn 2009'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SeNc028BqCI/AAAAAAAABgs/nCg614TgCoY/s72-c/DSC03588.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-90511535180424863</id><published>2009-01-10T14:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-05T17:59:24.543-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Republica Dominicana - La fabrique de cigares de l'ami Marino, et sa famille</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SWj9DPiu_iI/AAAAAAAABcE/t3Xbd23N63s/s1600-h/DSC03514.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289755994500300322" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SWj9DPiu_iI/AAAAAAAABcE/t3Xbd23N63s/s400/DSC03514.JPG" style="cursor: hand;

De la petite bière à organisé pour un vétéeran de l'Argentine. Un groupe de 40 étudiants, dont 33 filles pour la plupart bien décidées à claquer le fric de papa en godasses et autres soutien-gorges introuvables évidemment à Montréal. Visite du campus, de la rue Church (y'en a une de rue, c'est pas compliqué). Certaines passent le record des 450 $ flambés en une journée de magasinage frénétique. C'est la crise, il paraît. Certaines aussi s'échappent de l'hôtel passé le couvre-feu pour faire le partay dans une des fraternity houses qui fascinent tant nos Quebec teens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le voyage se termine à la campagne pour une visite de l'usine des délicieuses crèmes glacées Ben'n Jerry. Yummy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-5099045288200180019?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/5099045288200180019/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=5099045288200180019' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5099045288200180019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5099045288200180019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/11/school-trip-to-burlington-vermont.html' title='School trip to Burlington, Vermont'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SQ-ydoxyEFI/AAAAAAAABX8/-fJxKjK9tKo/s72-c/DSC03239.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-5403612269836238448</id><published>2008-07-18T11:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-19T16:59:39.721-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Catalunya</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SIDBLK0sO4I/AAAAAAAABA4/jzEeIXQnmnM/s1600-h/DSC02815.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224387965377854338" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SIDBLK0sO4I/AAAAAAAABA4/jzEeIXQnmnM/s200/DSC02815.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Coté français, la Catalogne c'est rugby (voir la baston avec victime à terre sur la droite), et côté ibérique, c'est le Barça et Gaudi.

Grâce à l'hospitalité d'Arnaud et Aurélia, nous avons pu savourer les merveilles de la riviera depuis le confort d'une jolie villa dans le village de La Londe, entre Toulon et St-Tropez. Une randonnée le long de falaises rocailleuses ombragées de pins et de chênes verts nous a offert un panomara mieux décrit par les photos ci-dessous. Aussi, comme Aurélia nous l'a fait remarquer, la région abrite une espèce particulièrement massive de mouette. D'une envergure supérieure à celle de l'albatros et plus lourdes que des condors, elles se permettent de chasser le thon rouge et attaquent parfois les touristes de petite taille, qu'elles rejettent au large selon leur provenance et leur fraîcheur. Pas de photos de ces prédateurs du ciel malheureusement, vu la panique qui nous a saisi quand l'un de ces monstres plumés nous a frôlé. Quand plus tard, alors Arnaud et moi nous nous adonnions à l'exploration marine en tuba, une anxiété similaire nous prenait chaque fois l'ombre passante de ces maxi-mouettes assombrissait les fonds. Heureusement, nous avions pris la précaution de peindre nos dos de jaune, couleur distinctive des papillons toxiques de la guarrigue, redouté par ces oiseaux géants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6553369190602452277?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6553369190602452277/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6553369190602452277' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6553369190602452277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6553369190602452277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/07/une-mouette-cest-gros.html' title='Une mouette, c&apos;est gros'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SHJvSHk3KdI/AAAAAAAAA_o/a1Iv5orJ8b4/s72-c/DSC02757.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-1943559646096983918</id><published>2008-06-20T22:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-21T12:23:41.306-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Buenos Aires II</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SF0qTUuC8kI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Hh1O-iq_xP0/s1600-h/DSC02724.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214370455032623682" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SF0qTUuC8kI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Hh1O-iq_xP0/s200/DSC02724.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le tango, une danse à la sale réputation qu'une dame de la société ne pouvait s'abaisser à danser. Dans le port crasseux de Buenos Aires, au début du 20e siècle, les gars devaient donc danser entre eux ou payer des prostituées. Le quartier de Boca, bâti de bric et de broc par les immigrants européens, peints de vives couleurs pour en cacher la misère, est encore le plus dangereux de la ville. Mais l'esprit du tango et celui du fùtbol et de l'équipe du Boca Junior en font un lieu incontournable pour tout visiteur.&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_Djm7vI/AAAAAAAAA-4/iPNhFQnw8GE/s1600-h/DSC02725.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214153503037386482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_Djm7vI/AAAAAAAAA-4/iPNhFQnw8GE/s200/DSC02725.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_v_LdyI/AAAAAAAAA_A/fVFyWgjbZYM/s1600-h/DSC02726.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214153514964186914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_v_LdyI/AAAAAAAAA_A/fVFyWgjbZYM/s200/DSC02726.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_7j8B5I/AAAAAAAAA_I/QD23uDq9-mc/s1600-h/DSC02727.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214153518071154578" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxk_7j8B5I/AAAAAAAAA_I/QD23uDq9-mc/s200/DSC02727.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxlAObiHgI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/rnrh8-EJB0Q/s1600-h/DSC02728.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214153523136175618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxlAObiHgI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/rnrh8-EJB0Q/s200/DSC02728.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxlAWCxoVI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/lnXpgCkQIZ0/s1600-h/DSC02744.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214153525179818322" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxlAWCxoVI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/lnXpgCkQIZ0/s200/DSC02744.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-1943559646096983918?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/1943559646096983918/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=1943559646096983918' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1943559646096983918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1943559646096983918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/buenos-aires-ii.html' title='Buenos Aires II'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SF0qTUuC8kI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Hh1O-iq_xP0/s72-c/DSC02724.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-7242450164165934170</id><published>2008-06-20T21:56:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-21T12:11:13.992-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Buenos Aires I</title><content type='html'>Buenos Aires est en éruption. Comme d'habitude. Le jour de notre visite, la présidente Cristina Kishner fait un discours public depuis la &lt;em&gt;Casa Rosada&lt;/em&gt; (maison du gouvernement) en face de la &lt;em&gt;Plaza 25 de Mayo&lt;/em&gt;. Une foule énorme l'attend, partagée entres hostiles et partisans. Le pays est en pleine crise dû à la décision du governement de surtaxer les agriculteurs, détenteurs de la richesse exportatrice argentine. Des milliers de manifestants de toutes couleurs politiques s'ammassent dans les artères de la ville et la circulation est bloquée dans le centre. L'air palpite au rythme des chants et des tambours. On nous fait savoir qu'il pourrait il y avoir des violences.&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFxjIZLdGKI/AAAAAAAAA-w/Syk8wUkxTNs/s1600-h/DSC02732.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214151464437225634" style="FLOAT: right;

Cette histoire est bien illustrée dans le film The Mission, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;palme d'or en 1986, avec De Niro et Irons. Les chutes d'Iguazu sont une des merveilles naturelles du monde. Ces chutes, crées par une faille tectonique, sont un spectacle assourdissant et aveuglant et mouillant de millions de tonnes d'eau se jetant de 80 mètres dans le fleuve Paranà, sur une largeur inégalée au monde. Ces chutes séparent le Brésil et l'Argentine mais l'Argentine s'est gardée la plus belle part du gateau. Mes photos ne rendent pas justice à cette vision titanesque que je me sens très fortuné d'avoir pu toucher de regard et des mains. Nous nous sommes mème payé le luxe d'une virée en speedboat au pied des chutes! Trempés, terrifiés, mais heureux!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J'ai aussi posé le pied au Brésil!

Après 3 semaines très intenses passées là, je commencais tout juste à m'y sentir chez moi. Les liens noués &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;semblent forts et le désir de revenir est concret. Nous partons en bus au milieu de la nuit en espérant que la route vers Buenos Aires ne soit pas coupée, car la lutte à mort entre le gouvernment et les agriculteurs se joue à poings nus. La tension sociale est au plus haut ces jours ci et d'aucuns parlent de menace pour la démocratie. Les spectres des coups d'états passés nous font passer des frissons dans l'échine.

Au cours d'une ballade sur un campus nous entendons du francais venant d'une salle de cours. 5 minutes plus tard, tous nos étudiants sont assis parmi les étudiants de francais, engagés dans un difficile mais motivant exercise de communication. Les &lt;em&gt;rosarinos&lt;/em&gt; sont très curieux des étrangers, peu nombreux ici (en fait nous sommes presque les seuls). Souvent ils prennent le temps de guider, de partager un café, juste pour le plaisir de parler une autre langue ou de savoir pourquoi donc on vient de si loin pour voir Rosario. Rocio, une jeune fille de 17 ans passionnée de voyages se greffe à notre groupe le temps de quelques activités. Elle nous prépare 2 tartes au &lt;em&gt;dulce de leche&lt;/em&gt; et fait partager son &lt;em&gt;maté&lt;/em&gt; (infusion d'herbes typique). La gentillesse et la générosité des &lt;em&gt;rosarinos&lt;/em&gt; a conquis tout le groupe. Après les séminaires du matin (politique, histoire, art ou musique argentins) j'invite les professeurs à casser la croûte et nous passons de très bons moments. Finalement c'est là que j'en apprends le plus sur le pays. Je me retrouve avec une liste de contacts énorme. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En voyageant seul je serais certainement passé à côté de la majorité des choses que j'ai apprises jusqu'à présent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;PS: le don de la bannière canadienne fut une initiative personnelle de Yannick le fédéralisse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;PS2: vue sur le pont qui traverse le fleuve Paraná, joignant Rosario à la province voisine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-5182095616536124335?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/5182095616536124335/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=5182095616536124335' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5182095616536124335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5182095616536124335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/rencontres.html' title='rencontres'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFOwnoAPoqI/AAAAAAAAA8A/97Z8QlPAINc/s72-c/DSC02577.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-653895842187227123</id><published>2008-06-12T19:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T08:11:06.100-04:00</updated><title type='text'>sali</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFO0VouRvXI/AAAAAAAAA8o/9gEfJRlOZKE/s1600-h/madress.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211707477599567218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFO0VouRvXI/AAAAAAAAA8o/9gEfJRlOZKE/s200/madress.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pendant les premières années de la dictature de '76-'83, les plus brutales, les milices para-militaires en habit civils pour mieux surprendre leurs proies, faisaient des rafles dans les maisons des présumés opposants au régime. S'ils trouvaient leur homme, ou leur femme, ils l'emportaient, baillonné, ligoté et roué de coup. Les parents, car ils s'agissait souvent de jeunes, parfois ne s'appercevaient pas du rapt. Parfois aussi, si les soudards ne trouvaient pas leur victime, Ils passaient les parents  à tabac ou bien les enlevaient pour les interroger sous la torture. Ils n'oubliaient alors pas de voler tout ce qui avait de la valeur avant de partir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notre visite la plus éprouvante nous emmène à ce qui était le quartier général de la police, une imposante bâtisse style fin 19e qui occupe tout un bloc en plein centre ville. Là se trouvait une des prisons clandestines du pays. Les fils et filles kidnappés étaient séquestrés ici, à quelques pas peut-être de la maison de leurs parents, sans que ces dernier n'en sachent rien n'y n'aient aucun recours en justice.&lt;br /&gt;Dans ce sous-sol de béton décrépi puant la mort, des rescapés et des mères ou soeurs de &lt;em&gt;desaparecidos&lt;/em&gt; nous racontent comment ces derniers étaient battus, torturés, affamés, violés, laissés pour mort ou simplement fusillés.&lt;br /&gt;Je me trouve à devoir traduire le récit de cette mère qui raconte ces atrocités. Après quelques minutes ma gorge se serre et mes yeux se ferment sur des larmes de colère, compassion, indignation, horreur et les mots ne sortent plus de ma bouche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humanité salie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-653895842187227123?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/653895842187227123/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=653895842187227123' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/653895842187227123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/653895842187227123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/sali.html' title='sali'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SFO0VouRvXI/AAAAAAAAA8o/9gEfJRlOZKE/s72-c/madress.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-391649254531724393</id><published>2008-06-10T09:45:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T10:14:18.458-04:00</updated><title type='text'>raclée ritale</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SE6LznhXU3I/AAAAAAAAA7o/9Sl3YsMYSFo/s1600-h/DSC02530.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210255537812755314" style="FLOAT: right;

Champion Argentins des + de 70 ans, il se permet même de me coller une raclée 6-1 alors qu'il sortait de 3 sets contre un jeunot de 35 ans. Bon, il s'entraîne 2h par jour mais quand même.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Très présent à Rosario comme dans toute l'Argentine, les Italiens ont modelé le paysage linguistique, physionomique et bien sûr architectural du pays. Le style fasciste est superbement représenté par le monumento a la bandera qui célèbre la ville et l'acte créateur du drapeau. Du sommet de la tour, on s'offre un 360 degrés sur le ville juste au moment oú débarque la statue du Che pour son 80e anniversaire de naissance. Meanwhile, les clébards roupillent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-391649254531724393?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/391649254531724393/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=391649254531724393' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/391649254531724393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/391649254531724393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/racle-ritale.html' title='raclée ritale'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SE6LznhXU3I/AAAAAAAAA7o/9Sl3YsMYSFo/s72-c/DSC02530.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-4696199094156734029</id><published>2008-06-07T19:11:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-07T19:20:14.183-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Tango</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXoOCmryI/AAAAAAAAA6o/B2zC_-4-n8U/s1600-h/DSC02559.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209283373715336994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXoOCmryI/AAAAAAAAA6o/B2zC_-4-n8U/s200/DSC02559.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXoXblboI/AAAAAAAAA6w/epb6lqUr4NU/s1600-h/DSC02563.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209283376236031618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXoXblboI/AAAAAAAAA6w/epb6lqUr4NU/s200/DSC02563.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXogKKh4I/AAAAAAAAA64/dzvfwIh8qsA/s1600-h/DSC02567.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209283378578884482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsXogKKh4I/AAAAAAAAA64/dzvfwIh8qsA/s200/DSC02567.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Passage obligé, le tango.

Un stade plein, une ambiance plus tranquille que pour le &lt;em&gt;fútbol&lt;/em&gt; mais quand même une belle victoire des Pumas 21 - 15 sur des Ecossais qui se sont contentés de marquer des pénalités. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Je n'ai pas encore parlé de notre quotidien. L'évennementiel est plus facile. On va essayer. Les étudiants prennent des cours d'espagnol basique tous les jours de 8.30 à 13.00 et nous faisons des visites en après-midi. Il reste tout de même assez de temps libre pour que chacun puisse vaquer à ses propres occupations. La vie est très douce ici. La bouffe est extraordinaire, les cafés sympas et les boutiques spécialisées abondent, et certaines Argentines sont très belles (you know who you are). Je suis passé au bureau d'immigration pour m'informer sur les démarches à faire pour bosser ici et, comparé au Canada, ce pays est un moulin ouvert à tous les vents. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-6291615984601913704?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/6291615984601913704/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=6291615984601913704' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6291615984601913704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/6291615984601913704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/vamos-pumas.html' title='Vamos Pumas!'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEsVkt2iMFI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/H9amop5J9mE/s72-c/DSC02590.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-5487335076365547519</id><published>2008-06-04T08:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T17:07:21.756-04:00</updated><title type='text'>La estancia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEcD1QDpWaI/AAAAAAAAA54/33lG_PT4zOI/s1600-h/DSC02507.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208135707455478178" style="FLOAT: right;

L'Argentine, encore récemment appellée le "grenier du monde", possède d'immenses terres fertiles exploitées de façon très moderne, pour l'agriculture en particulier. Par contre, depuis la route nous voyons que les vaches se prélassent dans d'infinis pâturages libres de barbelés et boivent l'eau des ruisseaux. Cet élevage en liberté garantit l'excellente qualité des viandes argentines, les meilleures que j'aie mangées de ma vie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nous arrivons à l'estancia (ranch/auberge) de Ruben et Alicia, le vieux couple de propriétaires dont les terres s'étendent à perte de vue. Grâce à sa fréquentation de l'Alliance française locale, Alicia parle un excellent français. Cette estancia est un petit paradis rural. Nous allons nous promener à cheval, effrayer les vaches à vélo, voir des danses traditionnelles et enfin manger des "asados", les succulentes grillades argentines, le tout sous un ciel pur et un chaud soleil automnal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En ce moment, les agriculteurs, détenteurs de quasi toute la richesse du pays et peu enclins à la partager, sont en conflit avec le gouvernement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-5487335076365547519?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/5487335076365547519/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=5487335076365547519' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5487335076365547519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/5487335076365547519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/la-estancia.html' title='La estancia'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEcD1QDpWaI/AAAAAAAAA54/33lG_PT4zOI/s72-c/DSC02507.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-1116250210540706921</id><published>2008-06-04T08:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T16:44:42.042-04:00</updated><title type='text'>dictature</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9h7PJRzI/AAAAAAAAA4o/KmQ0pR96SUw/s1600-h/DSC02536.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208128778379282226" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9h7PJRzI/AAAAAAAAA4o/KmQ0pR96SUw/s200/DSC02536.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9igEzRCI/AAAAAAAAA4w/hAH3hkhYTM0/s1600-h/DSC02537.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208128788268008482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9igEzRCI/AAAAAAAAA4w/hAH3hkhYTM0/s200/DSC02537.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9jEpSoFI/AAAAAAAAA44/QB2yKNKe_A8/s1600-h/DSC02538.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208128798084735058" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9jEpSoFI/AAAAAAAAA44/QB2yKNKe_A8/s200/DSC02538.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9jleJ8dI/AAAAAAAAA5A/3B90QqjLu30/s1600-h/DSC02541.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208128806896398802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9jleJ8dI/AAAAAAAAA5A/3B90QqjLu30/s200/DSC02541.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9kGqqIlI/AAAAAAAAA5I/BA1Lq-pg8YE/s1600-h/DSC02539.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208128815807210066" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9kGqqIlI/AAAAAAAAA5I/BA1Lq-pg8YE/s200/DSC02539.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Notre groupe a la chance d'être accompagné par Carlos Valentini, un professeur de lettres dans la cinquantaine qui a traversé les années de dictature. En fait, de 1955 à 1983, l'Argentine n'a connu que 3 années de démocracie, de 1972 à 1975, et la dernière période de dictature (76-83) fut la plus brutale et sanglante, comme environ 30 000 Argentins furent enlevés, torturés et tués. On appelle ces derniers les "desaparecidos", les disparus, car les proches n'ont jamais pu savoir ce qui leur était vraiment arrivé. Aujourd'hui, on retrouve des fosses pleines de cadavres anonymes, et des corps refont surface dans le fleuve jusqu'en Uruguay.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Appuyée par des groupes d'intérêt argentins de droite et par la CIA, la dictature militaire a systématiquement terrorisé la population et ruiné les effort d'industrialisation de l'Argentine. Aujourd'hui ce pays est le seul à entreprendre l'inculpation de ses anciens tortionnaires parmi toutes les ex dictatures d'Amérique latine. Même l'Espagne n'en n'est pas là.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Carlos nous emmène voir des lieux qui témoignent de cette période tragique. Sur un mur qui rend hommage aux disparus, il pointe du doigt les noms de ses camarades et parents emportés par la junte militaire. Un artiste a peint des bicyclettes abandonnés sur les murs pour garder la mémoire de ces gens fauchés par surprise par les milices para-militaires. Nous sommes tous émus en écoutant Carlos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-1116250210540706921?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/1116250210540706921/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=1116250210540706921' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1116250210540706921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1116250210540706921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/06/dictature.html' title='dictature'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SEb9h7PJRzI/AAAAAAAAA4o/KmQ0pR96SUw/s72-c/DSC02536.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-1322140212701020523</id><published>2008-06-01T21:57:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-02T11:04:05.349-04:00</updated><title type='text'>GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENVoIELkkI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/bAWKeAEtIvQ/s1600-h/DSC02479.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207099742018572866" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENVoIELkkI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/bAWKeAEtIvQ/s200/DSC02479.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENVo0_m0iI/AAAAAAAAA4g/D__XoJHOPVA/s1600-h/DSC02480.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207099754078982690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENVo0_m0iI/AAAAAAAAA4g/D__XoJHOPVA/s200/DSC02480.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUirMV2cI/AAAAAAAAA3w/5qmo3c1JiE8/s1600-h/DSC02461.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207098548857199042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUirMV2cI/AAAAAAAAA3w/5qmo3c1JiE8/s200/DSC02461.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUkL9iVSI/AAAAAAAAA34/21UFHqWQQOc/s1600-h/DSC02462.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207098574833341730" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUkL9iVSI/AAAAAAAAA34/21UFHqWQQOc/s200/DSC02462.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUkRG0XwI/AAAAAAAAA4A/1CFAzWGFDhc/s1600-h/DSC02465.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207098576214449922" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUkRG0XwI/AAAAAAAAA4A/1CFAzWGFDhc/s200/DSC02465.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUk1VfvTI/AAAAAAAAA4I/QlUC1fGBT-k/s1600-h/DSC02478.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207098585939688754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUk1VfvTI/AAAAAAAAA4I/QlUC1fGBT-k/s200/DSC02478.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUlcHlkFI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/owSCAHTxz8s/s1600-h/DSC02472.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207098596350333010" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SENUlcHlkFI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/owSCAHTxz8s/s200/DSC02472.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette soirée sera inoubliable, de toute évidence. Nous allons passer 2 heures immergés dans la passion folie des Argentins, le fútbol. A 19h nous rentrons tous équipés des couleurs du Rosario Central dans 5 taxis en direction de ce stade qui a accueilli plusieurs matchs de coupe du monde en 78. Rosario possède 2 clubs farouchement rivaux: le Central, en bleu et jaune, et les Newell's Old Boys, en noir et rouge. Invités par un &lt;em&gt;socio&lt;/em&gt; (Fernando, en blouson de cuir et qui tient les billets sur la photo) dans le virage des abonnés, nous avions choisi notre camp. Quand les joueurs entrent sur la pelouse sous les explosions de feux d'artifices, les cordes vocales et les danses de 35 000 personnes font trembler la structure. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, puis enfin 4-2. Rosario gagne et se sauve de la descente en 2e division par un festival de but inespéré par les supporters et les 20 Québecois convertis à la cause du Central et du football argentin. Des fans locaux nous aprennent les chansons et font rentrer dans la démence collective. Pour couronner le tout, les plus délurées du groupe se font dédicacer leur maillot par les joueurs après le match, et le club nous filme en train de chanter l'hymne du club.

Rosario est en effet la ville natale du Che.&lt;br /&gt;Pas moyen de traverser deux rues sans croiser des graffitis politiques ou des manifs d'étudiants ou de travailleurs agricoles. La population est encore très divisée et les blessures des années de dictatures sont loin d'être refermées.

Mais aucun problème à signaler. Mélanie avons livré les 18 étudiants à leur suites de luxe sans un bagage perdu ni une fouille rectale. Sans parler qu'elle et moi nous baladions avec 5 000US$ dans les poches, d'oú une certaine nervosité aussi.&lt;br /&gt;Fait amusant, nous sommes arrivé le 25 mai, fête nationale. Mais pas de feu d'artifice car une grosse manif paysante bloquait tout. Les graffitis et affiches politiques couvrent les murs. De toute façon, tout le monde ne rêvait que de douche, de vraie bouffe et de plumard. La banière argentine, créée à Rosario, flottait partout alors que notre troupe de Québs envahissait une &lt;em&gt;parilla&lt;/em&gt;, resto de grillades typiques où chacun s'est empiffré des plus succulentes viandes. Après les rations d'Air Canada d'avion, nos papilles ont explosé de soulagement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SD1P2zsokDI/AAAAAAAAA3A/060h1aGB1sQ/s1600-h/DSC02401.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205404547319107634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SD1P2zsokDI/AAAAAAAAA3A/060h1aGB1sQ/s200/DSC02401.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Photos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Notre hotel 3 *** avec la bandera nacional.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avec Le drapeau Queb c´est Carlos, notre contact local, prof de littérature, et Mélanie à ses côtés.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quelques étudiants découvrant le vrai goût de vraies tomates et de vraie barbaque. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-8737009221768842966?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/8737009221768842966/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=8737009221768842966' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8737009221768842966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8737009221768842966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/05/bon-port.html' title='à bon port'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SD1P1zsokAI/AAAAAAAAA2o/hVc6XnlbX-g/s72-c/DSC02376.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-663914433696929242</id><published>2008-05-19T21:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T22:06:33.210-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Demain, l'Argentine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SDIxdic4rKI/AAAAAAAAA2g/RBa-Lqbgpno/s1600-h/argentina.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202274903100271778" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SDIxdic4rKI/AAAAAAAAA2g/RBa-Lqbgpno/s320/argentina.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Voici un repérage des lieux principaux du projet Argentine 2007 du collège André-Grasset. Nous allons résider à Rosario, une ville portuaire d'un peu plus d'un million d'habitants. Là-bas les 18 étudiants iront à l'université apprendre d'abord la langue puis l'économie, la politique, l'histoire et la culture du pays. Mélanie et moi sont les deux accompagnateurs, celle-ci étant chargée de s'assurer que je m'occupe plus du bien-être des étudiants que de celui des Argentines. Sur la carte j'ai aussi encerclé les magnifiques chutes d'Iguazu, à la croisée des frontières de l'Argentine, du Brésil et du Paraguay . Vous les avez sûrement vues dans le film "The Mission" avec Robert de Niro et Jeremy Irons. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le séjour d'un mois se terminera en beauté avec quelques jours aux chutes puis à Buenos Aires.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-663914433696929242?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/663914433696929242/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=663914433696929242' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/663914433696929242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/663914433696929242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2008/05/demain-largentine.html' title='Demain, l&apos;Argentine'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SDIxdic4rKI/AAAAAAAAA2g/RBa-Lqbgpno/s72-c/argentina.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-9203030208062785218</id><published>2007-12-12T21:34:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T05:27:22.566-05:00</updated><title type='text'>War story</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/R2CbDvDvDsI/AAAAAAAAA18/QdzcIyhGe5g/s1600-h/garde_mur+copie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143281262931152578" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/R2CbDvDvDsI/AAAAAAAAA18/QdzcIyhGe5g/s400/garde_mur+copie.jpg" style="float: right;

Grâce à elles, en plus de voir les monuments j'ai pu rencontrer pas mal de monde et mieux goûter la vie Londonienne. Histoire de gagner du temps, je suis allé voir "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare", ou ses 37 pièces condensées en 97 minutes de spectacle (photo). Drôle. Ed, le chum de Faye (ex militaire qui a participé à l'invasion de l'Irak et qui maintenant vend des assurances en costard) m'a fait voir la City financière de l'intérieur. Faye a réussi le record de 3 oeufs à double jaune cassés successivement dans une poëlle (photo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RomCVkFWTGI/AAAAAAAAAz0/30Kc7Vua-2Y/s1600-h/DSC01804.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082736961439288418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RomCVkFWTGI/AAAAAAAAAz0/30Kc7Vua-2Y/s200/DSC01804.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-1618263863640845472?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/1618263863640845472/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=1618263863640845472' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1618263863640845472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/1618263863640845472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/07/london-2.html' title='London 2'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RomEvkFWTHI/AAAAAAAAAz8/UIIP1jIEqA0/s72-c/DSC01821.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-8905759715807333801</id><published>2007-07-02T18:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-07-04T06:08:50.875-04:00</updated><title type='text'>London 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_WkFWTAI/AAAAAAAAAzE/Op-F4_zWJ8o/s1600-h/DSC01776.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082733680084274178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_WkFWTAI/AAAAAAAAAzE/Op-F4_zWJ8o/s200/DSC01776.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_XEFWTBI/AAAAAAAAAzM/tqkhKa7_JgA/s1600-h/DSC01792.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082733688674208786" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_XEFWTBI/AAAAAAAAAzM/tqkhKa7_JgA/s200/DSC01792.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_XUFWTCI/AAAAAAAAAzU/-qJfOMLvoGs/s1600-h/DSC01795.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082733692969176098" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol_XUFWTCI/AAAAAAAAAzU/-qJfOMLvoGs/s200/DSC01795.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8GUFWS9I/AAAAAAAAAys/ig-n1Ha5E24/s1600-h/DSC01773.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082730102376516562" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8GUFWS9I/AAAAAAAAAys/ig-n1Ha5E24/s200/DSC01773.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8G0FWS-I/AAAAAAAAAy0/Ff9qKAtJZhE/s1600-h/DSC01775.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082730110966451170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8G0FWS-I/AAAAAAAAAy0/Ff9qKAtJZhE/s200/DSC01775.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8HEFWS_I/AAAAAAAAAy8/Y5sprtQoWuM/s1600-h/DSC01785.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082730115261418482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rol8HEFWS_I/AAAAAAAAAy8/Y5sprtQoWuM/s200/DSC01785.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boule qui roule n'amasse pas mousse.

En arrivant à Valencia on est frappé par la quantité de grues qui se détachent du paysage urbain, comme un troupeau de giraffes d'aciers toujours au boulot. Le port a été complètement transformé et modernisé pour acueillir l'America's Cup et le cours du fleuve a été détourné pour que dans son lit asseché soit bâtie une cité des arts et des sciences futuriste entourée de jardins et d'eau. L'Espagne n'a pas peur de bétonner pour le meilleur et pour le pire (le littoral n'est pas protégé par les mêmes lois qu'en France).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-8974988911910572445?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/8974988911910572445/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=8974988911910572445' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8974988911910572445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8974988911910572445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/06/valencia.html' title='Valencia'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rn-Z0FtjeXI/AAAAAAAAAu8/j29FtqDuYfc/s72-c/DSC01567.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-3810974829731533792</id><published>2007-05-31T07:54:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T14:36:31.129-04:00</updated><title type='text'>décablé</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rl8VKS7DBdI/AAAAAAAAAu0/QThIPGAA398/s1600-h/spain1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070794972064843218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rl8VKS7DBdI/AAAAAAAAAu0/QThIPGAA398/s200/spain1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cousins, cousines délicieuses, tantes, tontons, mamies, chantiers de constructions, paellas, méditerranée turquoise et passantes torticolantes...

Au réveil, une pluie solide martelle les vitres de ma chambre et la rivière locale ressemble plus à un fleuve de boue torrentiel. La saison humide finit en beauté. Le bus qui devait zig-zaguer jusqu'en haut de la montagne de granit du Machu déclare forfait à mi-chemin, sa route barrée par un glissement de terrain et un nouveau ruisseau. C'est là qu'un achat jugé plus tôt crétinesque se convertit en coup de génie. Muni de bottes de caoutchouc montant jusqu'aux genoux, je franchis l'obstacle en pataugeant gaiement. Avec les seuls pieds secs du jour, je coupe donc, le long de la coulée, vers le sommet. Là-haut, le paysage d'éperons de granit, qui semblent avoir jailli de terre comme des lames de couteau, est plongé dans l'opacité cottoneuse de ce ciel pluvieux. Assez miraculeusement, la vue du site principal est dégagée depuis la "maison du gardien", le mirador typique depuis lequel sont prises les photos de cartes postales. Je m'esbaudit (voir photo). Une équipe du Discovery Channel se trouve là aussi pour filmer mais se retrouve forcée, comme moi, à se réfugier sous le toit de chaume par la pluie qui doublemouille. Cela paraît mal commencer mais je sais que le temps est de mon côté. J'attends trois quart d'heure et, imperméabilisé sous mon plastico-poncho XXL, je m'engage dans la purée de poix mystique; les ruines en émergent silencieusement comme des navires fantômes. Sans bruit ni mouvement, on se croirait presque seul, un vrai luxe ici. Les pics lointains sont encore invisibles. quelques heures plus tard, je fait un arrêt au temple du soleil pour y sacrifier un chinchilla malchanceux en échange d'un éclaircie. Vers les 13h ma prière est finalement traitée par la bureaucratie céleste et, petit à petit, le père des fils du soleil dissipe les vapeurs matinales. Un horizon circulaire de sommets enneigés apparait et les couleurs du site se vivifient. La montagne que l'on apperçoit derrière le site sur les cartes postales, le WaynaPicchu, nous appelle alors. L'ascencion est ardue mais nous récompense d'un panorama qui domine toute la vallée en offrant un nouvel angle sur le Machu. Les yeux mastiquent et savourent. Les poumons se gonflent et le coeur respire plus près du ciel. Béatitude. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-4358017017131519209?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/4358017017131519209/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=4358017017131519209' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4358017017131519209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4358017017131519209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/04/machupicchu.html' title='MACHUPICCHU'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RiJr3nW5ejI/AAAAAAAAAus/MHG_f5bFzcc/s72-c/DSC01524.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-4127275856473242188</id><published>2007-04-10T13:30:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T14:14:18.126-04:00</updated><title type='text'>En chemin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMoHW5eQI/AAAAAAAAAsU/867k2ESr3aM/s1600-h/DSC01473.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051856396568066306" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMoHW5eQI/AAAAAAAAAsU/867k2ESr3aM/s200/DSC01473.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMonW5eRI/AAAAAAAAAsc/Xh9VURYNJ3c/s1600-h/DSC01477.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051856405158000914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMonW5eRI/AAAAAAAAAsc/Xh9VURYNJ3c/s200/DSC01477.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMpHW5eSI/AAAAAAAAAsk/WMnIPGqTlh0/s1600-h/DSC01470.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051856413747935522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMpHW5eSI/AAAAAAAAAsk/WMnIPGqTlh0/s200/DSC01470.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMpnW5eTI/AAAAAAAAAss/KFstpTr26ro/s1600-h/DSC01469.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051856422337870130" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMpnW5eTI/AAAAAAAAAss/KFstpTr26ro/s200/DSC01469.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMp3W5eUI/AAAAAAAAAs0/vuxWMrQKhjc/s1600-h/DSC01471.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051856426632837442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhvMp3W5eUI/AAAAAAAAAs0/vuxWMrQKhjc/s200/DSC01471.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grâce à Carlos, et à l'issue d'une soirée bien arrosée de &lt;em&gt;Pisco sour&lt;/em&gt; (=Pisco (bebida nationale, sorte de liqueur amère) ajoutée d'un blanc d'oeuf battu et de jus de citron vert), je rencontre Barthélemy, un belge qui a grandi ici et qui possède une chaîne de planétariums et d'observatoires dont un dans la vallée sacrée, et sa copine péruvienne; ils me proposent de me déposer sur la route vers Aguas Calientes, village d'où partent les explorations du Machu.

A l'heure oú j'écris, je rentre à peine du Machupicchu, un lieu époustouflant pour lequel je n'ai pas encore trouvé ou inventé ou volé les mots. J'attendrai donc de vous avoir conté ce qui a précédé le choc-Machu, c'est à dire la découverte de Cuzco, l'ancienne capitale de l'empire Inca et aujourd'hui bijou colonial qui domine la Vallée Sacrée et ses milles ruines antiques. Notez que le récit final sera publié après mon retour à Montréal (12 avril).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les trajet en bus sont longs mais magnifiques. Entre Puno et Cuzco c'est encore une route qui serpente dans une vallée de lacs et collines à la végétation courte qui ressemble beaucoup aux Highlands d'écosse, avec des alpacas au lieu des moutons. Au second plan, des chaînes de pics immenses couverts de neiges éternelles.&lt;br /&gt;Arrivé à Cuzco, je débarque chez Carlos, un dude de couchsurfing.com vraiment généreux qui m'offre une chambre. J'y rencontre trois autres invités qui s'apprètent à partir en expédition de 5 jours vers un site archéologique encore plus grand que le Machu, mais encore assez peu exploré et nettoyé de sa jungle.&lt;br /&gt;Cuzco fut donc la capitale de l'empire Inca (qui n'a vécu qu'un peu plus d'un siècle, pendant la Renaissance européenne) avant de se faire dicter la loi de Pizarro et ses pillard de conquistadors. Beaucoup de bâtiments coloniaux, maisons et églises, sont construits sur les bases des murs incas, constitués d'énormes pierres. La ville conserve une allure très médiévale avec ses rues étroites et pavées, ses balcons de bois ouvragé et ses vieux cailloux. C'est un lieu très orienté tourisme, avec des groupes qui arrivent chaque jour pour entreprendre le chemin inca, une expédition de 4 jours à travers les montagnes pour rejoindre le graal, le grand prix, le Mr. Machupicchu, en lice pour être élu une des 7 nouvelles merveilles du monde (votez à &lt;a href="http://www.new7wonders.com"&gt;www.new7wonders.com&lt;/a&gt;). Cuzco est idéale pour de longues balades à profiter de la beauté architecturale, des processions religieuses (j'y étais pendant la semaine sainte) et de la douceur du temps, toujours frais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quelques photos de la ville.

C'est là que notre petit groupe va rencontrer le peuple isolé et peinard qui va nous héberger et nous apprendre à vivre. Notre guide nous assigne une famille, et ainsi, Doña Ostina nous prend, Faye, Deepa et moi, par la main et nous gravissons la colline sur laquelle est perché le village pour arriver à sa charmante demeure rose et bleue (et jaune). Je fais office de traducteur entre les monolingues british et la famille. Puisqu'on meurt de faim, on décide d'aider la maman à cuisiner. Enfin disons qu'on essaie d'imiter les habitants, selon notre sexe: les filles pèlent les patates et moi je vais me balader dans le village, après avoir mon boulot d'interprétation... Au sommet des collines de l'île trônent les temples à la mère-terre et au père-terre où les villageois vont prier pour de bonnes récoltes chaque année. La grimpette est éprouvante car nous sommes à environ 4000 m d'altitude. Le soir venu, pendant que les vieux tchatchent sur la place centrale, on nous organise un bal en costume traditionnel, où je démontre que mon twist naturel ne connait pas de frontière. J'ai pas les photos sous la main mais ca va venir. Le lendemain matin, les yeux plein d'eau, Ostina nous dit &lt;em&gt;adios&lt;/em&gt; tout en essayant de nous fourguer ses tricoteries. Nous reprenons le bateau, qui irait plus vite si on ramait, pour terminer le parcours sur l'île de Taquile, où les bonnes gens se vêtissent toujours de façon traditionelle. Si le mec porte le pompon de son bonnet en arrière il est pris, sur la gauche il est ouvert à toute proposition, et si le bonnet est arc-en-ciel il est flic. Clair, non? Quant aux dames, c'est les pompons des coins de leurs ponchos noirs qu'il faut surveiller. Touffu et multicolore, elle est d'humeur volage. plus terne et mince, faut pas la faire chier. Si tu te plantes c'est que t'as pas décodé. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;En somme, deux îles où la vie n'a pas changé depuis des lustres et ou on vit pour l'essentiel, dans un décor de champs de maïs, patates, uca, de paturages de llamas, alpaca et moutons, bordés de murets de pierre; tout autour les eaux bleues et calmes du Titicaca. No stress et pas de malentendu en boîte de nuit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-2811476421561653456?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/2811476421561653456/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=2811476421561653456' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/2811476421561653456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/2811476421561653456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/04/titicaca-ii.html' title='Titicaca II'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhu8vnW5eLI/AAAAAAAAArs/sGQrYrTTmOw/s72-c/P1000240.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-9179445326008416629</id><published>2007-04-07T14:26:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T19:18:40.926-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Titicaca I</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhgmmkeVwbI/AAAAAAAAArM/EiZCbrvCe9k/s1600-h/mapa-titi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050829426163827122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhgmmkeVwbI/AAAAAAAAArM/EiZCbrvCe9k/s200/mapa-titi.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhgmnEeVwcI/AAAAAAAAArU/1NaAgYKMLCw/s1600-h/DSC01426.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050829434753761730" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhgmnEeVwcI/AAAAAAAAArU/1NaAgYKMLCw/s200/DSC01426.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfsw0eVwVI/AAAAAAAAAqc/k3kIY0D7x3k/s1600-h/IMG_3590.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050765830583075154" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfsw0eVwVI/AAAAAAAAAqc/k3kIY0D7x3k/s200/IMG_3590.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp-UeVwSI/AAAAAAAAAqE/84xDZsY0Nbs/s1600-h/DSC01422.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050762763976425762" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp-UeVwSI/AAAAAAAAAqE/84xDZsY0Nbs/s200/DSC01422.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp-0eVwTI/AAAAAAAAAqM/SsSQkiJTYN8/s1600-h/DSC01421.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050762772566360370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp-0eVwTI/AAAAAAAAAqM/SsSQkiJTYN8/s200/DSC01421.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp_UeVwUI/AAAAAAAAAqU/bVj38OqmdTk/s1600-h/DSC01418.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050762781156294978" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rhfp_UeVwUI/AAAAAAAAAqU/bVj38OqmdTk/s200/DSC01418.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Une bonne journée de bus (voir photo) plus loin d'Arequipa et à travers d'autres visions de nobles solitudes montagneuses, nous arrivons à Puno, la principale ville côtière du Titicaca péruvien. Je dis &lt;em&gt;nous&lt;/em&gt; car depuis Arequipa je voyage en compagnie de Deepa et Faye, deux doctoresses de Londres, ce qui est pratique en cas d'urgence santé.&lt;br /&gt;Puno est assez moche et le principal attrait du coin est la visite des îles du Lac. Nous commenceons par les étranges îles Uros, bâties de roseaux par un peuple autrefois agricole qui a dû fuir l'aggressivité des Incas. Tout un petit archipel dont les habitants, presque tous obèses (ce qui inquiète mes amies médecins), vivent de la pêche et du tourisme. Comme les roseaux du fond pourrissent, ils doivent déposer des entrelacs de roseaux frais régulièrement. Le sol est souple mais stable, et ils arrivent même à faire pousser des patates dans le terreau qui se forme entre les roseaux. Ces îles de roseaux peuvent s'ancrer, se déplacer, se découper. Par exemple, s'il y a des différents irréconciliables entre deux familles de la même île, les plus gênés peuvent embarquer leur maison sur un bâteau (de roseaux) ou bien découper l'île en deux. Pourquoi pas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-9179445326008416629?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/9179445326008416629/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=9179445326008416629' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/9179445326008416629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/9179445326008416629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/04/titicaca-i.html' title='Titicaca I'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhgmmkeVwbI/AAAAAAAAArM/EiZCbrvCe9k/s72-c/mapa-titi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-4965451194185392493</id><published>2007-03-31T19:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-06T12:16:33.961-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Highlander</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhZvQkeVwRI/AAAAAAAAAp8/b9q3_xJfY-U/s1600-h/P1000186.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050346362602111250" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhZvQkeVwRI/AAAAAAAAAp8/b9q3_xJfY-U/s200/P1000186.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70sH-BeKI/AAAAAAAAApc/b8UZYFBaYMk/s1600-h/DSC01402.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048241271219517602" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70sH-BeKI/AAAAAAAAApc/b8UZYFBaYMk/s200/DSC01402.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70sX-BeLI/AAAAAAAAApk/leM4EDlbrZc/s1600-h/DSC01396.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048241275514484914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70sX-BeLI/AAAAAAAAApk/leM4EDlbrZc/s200/DSC01396.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70tH-BeMI/AAAAAAAAAps/YoRGnfM-kL0/s1600-h/DSC01391.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048241288399386818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70tH-BeMI/AAAAAAAAAps/YoRGnfM-kL0/s200/DSC01391.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70tX-BeNI/AAAAAAAAAp0/G6yzq2Ji-WU/s1600-h/DSC01410.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048241292694354130" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg70tX-BeNI/AAAAAAAAAp0/G6yzq2Ji-WU/s200/DSC01410.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Passons à un aspect plus connu du Pérou: les Andes. Connue comme la ciudad blanca pour ses nombreuses églises, palais et couvents de pierre blanche, la belle ville d'Arequipa m'accueille à ses 2600 m. d'altitudes. , elle m'apparait fraîche et propre. Je vais enfin pourvoir porter autre chose que des bermudas et sandales. J'y rencontre bientôt plusieurs contacts couchsurfing et, en compagnie d'autre compagnons de voyage, nous expérimentons la &lt;em&gt;vida noctural&lt;/em&gt; et les alcools locaux. Malheureusement, la nuit venue je me rends compte que biture + café + oxygène rarefié = nuit sans sommeil ou presque. Le lendemain, déchiré, je monte dans un bus pour aller découvrir les plus hautes terres, domaine du condor des cité d'or. Arrivé á 4850 métre, et malgré les feuilles de coca qui me tapissent les gencives, j'ai comme un début de mal de bloc. Comme debout au sommet du Mont Blanc en T-shirt avec mes petits poumons de citadins, le moindre effort coupe le souffle. Je regarde des gamins jouer au foot sur fond de pampa et de pics enneigés et je réalise que toute tentative de les imiter finira en crise cardiaque. En descendant vers le fond de la vallée, nous passons des fermettes incroyablement isolées avec leurs troupeaux de llamas et d'alpacas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La nuit venue, dans le village de Chivay (3850 m),  pour me faire passer les 40 de fièvres, le mal de bloc et la pression artérielle galopante subitement déclenchés par le choc de l'altitude et la fatigue, le doc m'envoie 5 minute d'oxygène à la bouteille et une piquouse dans le fion. Ça faisait longtemps. Le lendemain, frais comme un gardon avarié, je pars pour la visite guidée du cañon de Colca, royaume du condor d'Esteban, Zia &amp; Tao. Villages paumés où les villageois nous attendent de pied ferme avec leurs llamas et aigles en laisse, leurs filles en escouades de danseuses, et leur femmes tricotant des bonnets pointus. Paysages de vallées plongeantes, humanisées de cultures en terrasses et de labyrinthes de murets de pierres. J'apperçois 5 condors et 0 cité d'or. Bilan positif.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-4965451194185392493?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/4965451194185392493/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=4965451194185392493' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4965451194185392493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4965451194185392493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/03/highlander.html' title='Highlander'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RhZvQkeVwRI/AAAAAAAAAp8/b9q3_xJfY-U/s72-c/P1000186.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-4098150153584720810</id><published>2007-03-31T19:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-03-31T19:48:37.560-04:00</updated><title type='text'>soufflé</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xw3-BeHI/AAAAAAAAApE/JeRVfA99-Qo/s1600-h/ica_boarding.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048238054289012850" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xw3-BeHI/AAAAAAAAApE/JeRVfA99-Qo/s200/ica_boarding.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xxH-BeII/AAAAAAAAApM/bRWDb5nabxM/s1600-h/buggie_1.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048238058583980162" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xxH-BeII/AAAAAAAAApM/bRWDb5nabxM/s200/buggie_1.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xVX-BeEI/AAAAAAAAAos/MHOlE7LK0ps/s1600-h/DSC01376.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048237581842610242" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xVX-BeEI/AAAAAAAAAos/MHOlE7LK0ps/s200/DSC01376.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xWn-BeFI/AAAAAAAAAo0/H4VUiBDrcrQ/s1600-h/DSC01375.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048237603317446738" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xWn-BeFI/AAAAAAAAAo0/H4VUiBDrcrQ/s200/DSC01375.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xXH-BeGI/AAAAAAAAAo8/puYwtHcGk2k/s1600-h/DSC01370.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048237611907381346" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xXH-BeGI/AAAAAAAAAo8/puYwtHcGk2k/s200/DSC01370.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dans la foulée je continue vers Ica, une ville bâtie près d'une oasis entourée à l’infini de dunes de sable écrasées de soleil ; le vrai trip désertique. Je signe pour une visite du désert en tout-terrain buggy. Marcos, notre conducteur, entreprend de nous démontrer, à fond les gaz, que des dunes sont des montagnes russes naturelles potentiellement terrifiantes. Le buggy se retrouve quasi à la verticale pendant les montées, descentes et virages et nous bouffons plus que notre part de sable. Puis nous nous initions au noble sport du sandboarding, qui consiste à surfer sur le sable chaud depuis des hauteurs chaque fois croissantes. Plaisir, et encore plus de bouffage de sable. Mais tout ce temps-là, je ne pouvais pas m'empêcher de penser au lendemain, quand je retournerai au désert seul. Chose faite. Une heure de marche dans le sable brûlant pour trouver ma dune, loin de toute vie. Quatre heures sans son, mouvement, odeur ou autre goût que quelques gorgées d'eau. Jusqu'à un coucher de soleil devant lequel je m'inclinai en laissant ma marque, avant que le prochain souffle de vent ne l'emporte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-4098150153584720810?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/4098150153584720810/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=4098150153584720810' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4098150153584720810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/4098150153584720810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/03/souffl.html' title='soufflé'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/Rg7xw3-BeHI/AAAAAAAAApE/JeRVfA99-Qo/s72-c/ica_boarding.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-8307888065876258349</id><published>2007-03-27T21:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-03-27T22:02:10.803-04:00</updated><title type='text'>southbound</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMX3-BeAI/AAAAAAAAAoI/O6_b2Shqglg/s1600-h/DSC01355.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046789567978502146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMX3-BeAI/AAAAAAAAAoI/O6_b2Shqglg/s200/DSC01355.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMYX-BeBI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/ki4DbVWvp7U/s1600-h/DSC01342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046789576568436754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMYX-BeBI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/ki4DbVWvp7U/s200/DSC01342.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMYn-BeCI/AAAAAAAAAoY/EXZLBMPRAZA/s1600-h/DSC01335.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046789580863404066" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMYn-BeCI/AAAAAAAAAoY/EXZLBMPRAZA/s200/DSC01335.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMZn-BeDI/AAAAAAAAAog/gSSrrau0Prw/s1600-h/DSC01336.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046789598043273266" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMZn-BeDI/AAAAAAAAAog/gSSrrau0Prw/s200/DSC01336.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;En quittant Lima vers le sud, on découvre un aspect peu connu du Pérou: le désert de la côte pacifique. A perte de vue, de hautes collines de sable, pierre et sel; de temps en temps, un village qui tire son eau de je ne sais pas où. Arrivé à Paracas, je me fais immédiatement embarquer pour une visite de la réserve naturelle. Paysages de solitude silencieuse qui appelle le chercheur d’éternité. Cathédrale de pierre creusée par les vagues du pacifique (photo). Route faite de sel. Le lendemain, visite de l’île de l’arbalète, refuge de milliers d’oiseaux (pingouins, pélicans, et cormorans) et d’otarie. Les images sont magnifiques, et l’odeur, mélange du parfum marin et de l’épaisse couche de fiente déposée par des génération de volatiles, chavire les sens. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340668560872804307-8307888065876258349?l=maplemanexport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/feeds/8307888065876258349/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5340668560872804307&amp;postID=8307888065876258349' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8307888065876258349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5340668560872804307/posts/default/8307888065876258349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maplemanexport.blogspot.com/2007/03/southbound.html' title='southbound'/><author><name>Laurent Nicolas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02165137821968549504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/SqfDjzIoGXI/AAAAAAAABnE/ag240yqCr3w/S220/canada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnMX3-BeAI/AAAAAAAAAoI/O6_b2Shqglg/s72-c/DSC01355.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340668560872804307.post-3200347155152753759</id><published>2007-03-24T18:47:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-03-27T21:40:09.802-04:00</updated><title type='text'>C'est le Pérou</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHUH-Bd7I/AAAAAAAAAng/m7myZ9CkNOw/s1600-h/DSC01327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046784005995853746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHUH-Bd7I/AAAAAAAAAng/m7myZ9CkNOw/s200/DSC01327.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHUn-Bd8I/AAAAAAAAAno/egGqW4-Gbxw/s1600-h/DSC01325.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046784014585788354" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHUn-Bd8I/AAAAAAAAAno/egGqW4-Gbxw/s200/DSC01325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHU3-Bd9I/AAAAAAAAAnw/zPItDJutl7M/s1600-h/DSC01324.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046784018880755666" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHU3-Bd9I/AAAAAAAAAnw/zPItDJutl7M/s200/DSC01324.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHVX-Bd-I/AAAAAAAAAn4/sR9eYNMUpvo/s1600-h/DSC01320.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046784027470690274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHVX-Bd-I/AAAAAAAAAn4/sR9eYNMUpvo/s200/DSC01320.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHV3-Bd_I/AAAAAAAAAoA/9-g7aeF8APM/s1600-h/DSC01317.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046784036060624882" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgnHV3-Bd_I/AAAAAAAAAoA/9-g7aeF8APM/s200/DSC01317.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgWqmP2bO5I/AAAAAAAAAnY/S7Y8_oMhVDs/s1600-h/Peru_completo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045626531605068690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_RtoXYJ5jR9o/RgWqmP2bO5I/AAAAAAAAAnY/S7Y8_oMhVDs/s200/Peru_completo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lima est bien plus belle que ce que mon guide Lonely Planet le laissait entendre (guide que je viens de paumer d’ailleurs, avec soulagement, il commençait à peser lourd).
