LA: Walt Disney Concert Hall

Hi all,

Two weeks ago we did a 26-hour trip to LA (including 13 hours of driving) because we had to go the Belgian consulate. We took the opportunity to visit the Walt Disney Concert Hall by architect Frank Ghery (the one of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao). This building is very impressive. I liked the roof gardens. Here is a short movie (.mov for Mac or .avi for Windows) by Goeric!

Yole's graduation

Hi all,

A month ago we went to Boston for Yolande's graduation. Yole stayed with her friend Aline and we spent the week-end at a removed cousin of mine's place. We had the time to visit the JFK library, to have dinner with my cousin and his wife at the Harvard Club, to visit Lexington and Concord where the American revolution began and of course to do some shopping ;-) The weather however was quite cold and rainy... Fortunately it didn't rain on the graduation day. The "commencement" speaker was Hamid Kharzai, the president of Afghanistan. He gave a very good speech. The Boston University graduation was really something compared to the one at Stanford: more formal, more ordered... Maybe this reveals the difference between East- and West-coast state of mind :-)

It has been a very nice week-end: we were pleased to see Yolande, share that day with her and be there to take some pictures!
