The weather is cool and sunny so I went with my friend to Spy which lays on the way to the Ardennes.

Here in 1886, in a cavern, two archeologists found two nearly perfect Neanderthal skeletons (man and woman) at the depth of 4.88 m (16 ft.), with numerous implements of the Mousterian type.

We thought we would walk through the beautiful woods, farmlands and then visit the cavern.





We had lunch in this nice restaurant which was called "Irish Pub"



saw nice farm houses



admired cows who smelled country air





followed the path leading to the cavern where our ancestor had lived but couldn't find it. (we were not the only once)



So we admired the still green trees despite the fact that it is almost end of october and then returned home.

I spent the whole weekend at our yearly exhibition of my painting class. It's also important for the city to show that they have artists as inhabitants. An advertising was published in the local Newspaper and in the City hall and other public buildings hang a poster of the exhibition.

It started at 11 am on Saturday where the vernissage took place. The deputy mayor held a speech and a toast was made to the artists. We had a buffet with Champagne, orange juice and water and sweet and salty snacks. The responsible of our painting class, Ilona and I together with our teacher stayed the whole day to show the visitors around. My other classmates were "on duty" for 2 h during the two days.

At the end we were all quiet tired but very happy with the result of our exhibition which ended Sunday late afternoon.

In the evening I was so tired and my feet on fire ! Mr. G. served me Chinese noodles with chicken which was very good and at 9.30 I fell in my bed !
