August: Septembre Musical de l'Orne

Hard to believe it's the last day of this long, enjoyable, and, we think, very successful tour. Nice to finish up in Normandy, our third performance on this tour in this part of France. The Septembre Musical de L'Orne had invited us in 2002, and we were happy to come back and see familiar faces. This time the performance was actually in the Sarthe, in the town of Mamers. We drove there from Le Mans for a 5pm performance.

Notre Dame de Mamers.

Our dressing room was in this handsome building, next door to the church. It was a typical day in Normandy- alternating rain and sunshine- but with the good luck which has attended this whole tour (except when Gabe got stuck in the elevator in Krakow as the bus waited outside to take us to the airport) it didn't rain when we made our way to and from the dressing room.
