eing a foreigner, as one could expect in any part of the world, there are those who are welcoming, whilst others deny. ‘Such is the battery that energizes life’. Time spent in the South of France, ‘most notably in Camargue’, has been stupendous. Quite different from the traditions beknownst to me, the ‘peuple’ are comprised of well saddled ‘ranchers’, their ladies ‘no patsies’. Indeed, extremely devoted to their ‘Terre de Camargue’, and rightfully so. For one must defend one’s heritage and promise of continuance.
It is fundamental to emit both ‘respect and recognition’ to the natives for preserving this ‘savage paradise’. The Camarguais recognizes that a Parisian hasn’t the faintest notion as to the hardship of working the land. But lest we not overlook the genuineness of that same Parisian who ‘basks in the fullest of glory’ the very millisecond he sets foot on this sacred soil. Fault him not, as he comes from a world of ‘asphalt jungle’, one that invokes a beaten path.
Consequently, to adjudge another ‘different from oneself’ for not bearing a dutiful role in the fruits of one’s labour, amounts to nothing more than vacant chatter. For each is respectively tied to ‘mismated dominions’, hence concluding that there would be no further need for cultural exchange if all were tantamount.
Throughout the Equestrian Activities, Spanish Bull-fights, Wining & Dining à la Française, Historical Sites, Museum Tours, Biblical Icons, Wine Tastings, Walking the Path of Master Painters and Award Winning Authors, Legendary Interviews, and Heartfelt Tributes... it is fair to surmise that ‘we have covered the whole shebang’!
The sincerest of thanks are extended to those who have given of themselves in guidance and time, hence contributing to the culmination of yet another outstanding Edition of LALLOUZ INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE. Bringing forth to our readers not only a ‘varied multi-lingual’ written account, but a personal invite into the veritable defining moments experienced throughout this seasoned adventure via ‘LIM MEDIA Video’ coverage. Ours is a rather natural interchange of language skills, somewhat evident in our “Franglais” productions with hints of ‘Swedish’ and traces of ‘Spanish’ on the side!
As the story is written, and historians show People are human, indeed we all know With rivalry as the accord of the way A battle of words, of who has the say But it all is so petty, a breath to the wind Vocalized nonsense, words to rescind The earth she does offer beauty and grace Such wonders of nature, an unequivocal place And such it is here, in this land to behold A haven of wonders, earth made from gold But the time, it has come to share in this treasure A rarefied find, a magical pleasure With this mission accomplished A job thoroughly done One mixed of pure nature and good political fun With memories kept, and friendships in tow LALLOUZ INTERNATIONAL has packed up this show Godspeed and farewell, we bid you adieu Only to surface again, from another milieu
À la prochaine!
