DAY 3 / Nice, France




Went to the open air markets early the third day, tables were full of local produce- we bought olives, white truffle oil, tandoori spice, balinese pepper, provence herbs, clementines leaves still attached, post cards, books, & soap all with loose change we’d accumulated.

On are way back to our hotels we stopped and watched the most peculiar thing. Don’t really know how to explain it- so here it goes - they were a bunch of kids dancing in the streets - seriously, no music, and no drugs just dancing. I thought to myself this must have been what the audition line for footloose must have looked liked. We were both mesmerized by this odd activity and ended up staying there way longer then expected. We video taped some of it, but don't know how to load it yet.

Here's a youtube link if you want to check out what it is.

Yeah, read about that street dancing, it's called tecktonik, and it is taking France by storm. Some people seem blown away by it, and it's "originality" but it doesn't look that new to me. The 80's reference is right on, that shit can be found in almost any new wave video from the 80's. . . but in the streets of france, with out any music? That's pretty cool.
