Saturday, Aug. 20: Mike and I travel about 2 hours southwest into Wallonia to a tiny village of about 200 people, Chassepierre. This village hosts a festival of Street Performance Artists every year and it draws over 30,000 people! The village would actually prefer less people, actually, but they sort of throw up their hands. Apparently the artists are different each and every year. There were stilt walkers, jugglers, acrobats, dancers, comedians, and weird people who dress up and act like lizards, and much much more! Mike thought I was nuts, and the whole time we were driving down there he was thinking "we're going to get to this thing and it's going to be like 3 guys juggling bean bags...." He was pleasantly surprised. And the village was sooooo charming!
