Sorry for being always a bit late in replying, but it’s getting so hard to find some time to get around in blogosphere…<BR/><BR/>Leena,<BR/>I can understand how amazing must have been those History classes with Greek mythology around. I remember that one of the first books I bought a long, long time ago… from the French collection Que Sais-Je? was La Mythologie Grecque!!! But demons and witches from St. Cyprian only in Salamanca…<BR/><BR/>Eliane,<BR/>Nikon,<BR/>Annie,<BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>Actually, though it’s only a bit less than 500 km from Lisbon, I’ve not been there since January 2006.

I’ve one post with pictures from the Cloisters at http://blogtrotta90s.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-year-in-nyc-part-ii.html and from there you may link to the amazing 1979 pictures, where you left a comment some months ago… ;))<BR/><BR/>Backpakker,<BR/>Myths only… or also demons and witches?<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Ce n’est pas très loin quand même; départ le matin de Normandie, dormir à Salamanque…<BR/><BR/>Ruth,<BR/>Spain… and Portugal!<BR/><BR/>Deslilas,<BR/>Merci!<BR/><BR/>Nihal,<BR/>Already replied…<BR/><BR/>Aditi,<BR/>Thanks for your comment. I’ll try to get back to your blog asap…<BR/><BR/>Isabella,<BR/>Casa Lys is stunning!<BR/>About Renaissance what I was saying was that in Spain the Renaissance motifs were blended with Gothic and Mudéjar elements, creating the Plateresque (from “plata"), style, some kind of Spanish variation of Renaissance style. Plateresque was much richer in ornamentation than the original Italian Renaissance style.<BR/><BR/>Cergie,<BR/>Merci.<BR/>Esteban, Etienne, Stephen, Stefano (italien), Estevão (portugais)…<BR/>En fait, ma photo a été prise dans la cabine du Concorde et c’est là aussi qu’on trouve l’information de vitesse et altitude.

C'était les deux meilleurs joueurs du club de tennis, je ne sais si le prénom voulait ça.<BR/>J'adore que le prénom soit dit dans la langue que l'on utilise. Esteban, c'est aussi Stephen<BR/><BR/>Je vois que tu as mis des photos de toi en tenue et ds un cocpit (comment ça s'écrit ?)<BR/>Et la barre des vitesses. Je me suis demandé pourquoi cet oiseau qui ressemblait fort à concorde sur ton profil alors que concorde c'était français et britannique. Tu m'expliqueras. Concorde, je le guettais tous les jours vers 11H1/4, il passait au dessus de chez moi. Ce vrombissement ! Je guettais cette flèche ds le ciel qui passait ça ou là suivant le vent. Et puis la catastrophe... Nous étions en Ariège à ce moment là. <BR/>J'avoue que concorde me manque. J'ai mis des photos au début de mon blog, de celui qui est à Roissy. Tu sais que Roissy est dans mon département, le 95 ? Alors ma ville, Cergy Pontoise, est indiquée depuis Roissy.<BR/><BR/>J'aime beaucoup, pour en revenir à ton message, les photos de la cathédrale dans la brume.Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-32009937612468739092007-11-05T23:14:00.000+00:002007-11-05T23:14:00.000+00:00What gorgeous facade of the Museo Art Nouveau y Ar...What gorgeous facade of the Museo Art Nouveau y Art Deco!

Sorry! Madrid, Enrique, all was pointing to Spain, but Greek-Turkish friendship is much more interesting. Something like Portuguese-Spanish... ;)<BR/>2)Statistics: Source TV! Don’t know if they should be trusted... ;))<BR/>It seems the conclusion came out of a study made by the OECD and the World Value Surveys (http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/) and is related with the answer to the question: "Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted or that you need to be very careful in dealing with people?" Apparently, France comes on 24th place, Portugal 25th and Turkey 26th…<BR/>Now, sorry, back to work... ;((Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-88183139420777744512007-11-05T12:29:00.000+00:002007-11-05T12:29:00.000+00:00Hi again, hope this finds you in the best of healt...Hi again, hope this finds you in the best of health:) Do not worry for not being able to visit my journal as much as you'd wish. Sure, sometimes it becomes hectic in our lives.<BR/><BR/>Well, let me comment here for a few things on which you stated:<BR/><BR/>1) Greek-Spanish friendship? Talking about my posting titled ''Stay''? I'd like to correct your mispelling. It should be ''Greek-Turkish friendship''. My friend is -by nationality- greek. Me, I'm NOT a Spanish, but a Turkish citizen:) So, we are a good example of greek-turkish friendship *cheers*<BR/><BR/>2) You said ''it seems that in Europe, according to statistics, more distrustful than the Portuguese, only the Turkish''. Is it? Which statistics, could you let me know where you get this data? You know data is absolute as long as it is correctly reflected. That's why statistics essential.<BR/><BR/>The French are among the most gloomy, distrustful and<BR/>pessimistic people in Europe, according to an official study. The French also had less confidence in their police, their courts, their unions and their MPs!<BR/><BR/>As said they are distrustful of others because of dishonesty and of human nature being what it is. I advice you to click on the survey to learn more:<BR/>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/<BR/>world/europe/article2774179.ece<BR/><BR/>As a trustful and positive towards people in the neighbourhood, that's why Turkish hospitality is world famous! Not my reporting but all the world already know this fact:)<BR/><BR/>It is another point to declare that Turkish community of citizens, friendly and confident, trustworthy and trustful, positive and happy oulook on life! You did not experience this during your travels in Turkey?<BR/><BR/>Gossip and rumors lead people to think wrong things. Plus, there is no trustful political party that politicians always distrustful ..to the public.<BR/><BR/>In sum, it seems interesting that neither Portugese not Turkish, but French people see nothing in the glass at all; being distrustful in the Europe, as the survey shows:))) I hope this helps you to update your misinformation quickly:)<BR/><BR/>Oh we had a great saturday nite with Enrique, dancing and singing songs with him...unforgettable for us. For more, I invite you reading my post w/photos taken in the concert.Nihalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921200854794301981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-1518557739109449922007-11-05T11:01:00.000+00:002007-11-05T11:01:00.000+00:00Blog très intéressant.Je reviendrai souvent.Blog très intéressant.<BR/>Je reviendrai souvent.Daniel Chérouvrier https://www.blogger.com/profile/15287664408128972926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-70766340377624548002007-11-05T10:14:00.000+00:002007-11-05T10:14:00.000+00:00The mist is wonderful around those glorious buildi...The mist is wonderful around those glorious buildings.
