Terrific group shots!
ReplyDeletelove the smiles and the fact that Hong Kong is represented in Menton .. but the theme of the festival this year intrigues me .. why would a lemon have tribulations in China ... I have Googled the subject and found several references to the Fête du Citron festival but so far I have not found an explanation for the trouble a lemon might have in China ... interesting.
ReplyDeleteTribulations? Are lemons in danger in China?
ReplyDeleteI bet they gave a good performance.
Denton, it's just for fun. Menton is known as the 'city of lemons' and every year we have this festival. Each display is shown with the cartoon of a lemon - so, for instance there is a panda made of lemons and oranges and the cartoon lemon is suddenly black and white.
