Rainbow over Saint Jean
Yesterday, I had a look at one of my preferred Saint Barth webcam, over Saint Jean Bay.
It was about 08.20 in Saint Barth, and … a rainbow appeared on the left side of the picture. It was then great to observe how the rainbow has evolved. Nice moment :-)

Montreux Jazz Festival 2010
Romero Britto creates the poster of the 44th Montreux Jazz Festival.
His art celebrates life and stands for vitality and joy. Born in Brazil, Romero Britto lived an extremely modest lifestyle while growing up amongst eight brothers and sisters in Recife. Nowadays he is one of the most renowned Neo Pop artists worldwide. His paintings and sculptures combine elements of Cubism, Pop Art and Graffiti. Britto created the Festival’s poster already in 1999 for its 33rd edition and the logo of the Festival’s archives Montreux Sounds. Painted in strong and fresh colors, the poster for the 44th Montreux Jazz Festival represents a boy with guitar and his dog. Romero Britto, who currently lives in Miami, is an artistic activist for charitable and cultural organizations, he supports as well the Montreux Jazz Fondation 2.

Week-end in Strasbourg
We had some great time this week-end in Strasbourg (wikipedia) with my wife and son. Always a great pleasure to go there, as it is a great city, and also because we have studied there for a while ;-)
We had two great meals:
- a lunch at an Italian restaurant called “La Grappa”, really great. Good atmosphere and service, everything fresh, reasonable price.
- a wonderful dinner at “La cuiller à Pot” (no error ;-), a gastronomic restaurant. Really worth a try!! And not just because we know one of the owner ;-) The Chef was nominated as a “Young Talent 2009” by the Gault & Millau. Have a look:
[…] Numerous gourmet guides have noticed the restaurant, the cuisine being daring, and the mixes being done with “opposites attract” as a motto. A star is born…
Here is Gault Millau Young Talent that really charmed ideal gourmet. Ideally located, decorated with a lot of taste and personality, this gourmet address is on the rise and it will no doubt surprise you thanks to an ideal gourmet menu composed according to the season, with a thousand and one surprises in store for you. […]
Besides the meals and shopping, I could test a bit more my new Canon EPS 5D MarkII, this time with my “old” wide-angle lens (Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0). I could really feel the advantage of the “full-frame” for the first-time. Great!

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs
As you may know, I am quite a fan of the Ruinart champagne house.
Yesterday evening, we could share a marvelous “Blanc de Blancs” (100% Premier Cru Chardonnay grape from different years) of Ruinart with some of our “old friends”. Just fantastic, high finesse, very balanced acidity, great presence, bright, fresh. All this in a very classy bottle.
Really a highlight for all of us.
