Pour la quatrième année consécutive, la chambre de commerce de Capitola-Soquel a organisé le weekend dernier l’évènement Bikes on the Bay. Près d’une centaine de personnes se sont rassemblés dans le stationnement du centre d’achat de Capitola pour admirer plus de 300 motocyclettes antiques.
C’est la première fois que j’y allais et je me suis régalée à voir de très anciens modèles. L’occasion était en or pour les propriétaires qui avaient mis en vente leur moto. Le soleil était également au rendez-vous, pour le plaisir de tous. On parle déjà de poursuivre cet évènement l’an prochain, mais plutôt en octobre cette fois.
Je partage avec vous quelques photos que j’ai prise lors de ma journée Bikes on the Bay:

For the fourth consecutive year, the Soquel-Capitola Chamber of Commerce hosted last weekend the Bikes on the Bay event. More than a hundred people showed up at the Capitola Mall parking lot to admire more than 300 vintage motorcycles.
It was the first time that I went to the event and I loved looking at the old models. The event was the prime spot for owners to sell their motorcycle. The sun was out and shining for the great pleasure of everyone. It is almost confirmed that the event will be back again next year, but in October this time.
I am sharing with you some photos that were taken during this Bikes on the Bay day:

Foire de jeunes auteurs / Student Authors’ Fair
Comme à chaque année, le centre d’achat local, le Capitola Mall est l’hôte d’une importante foire: le Student Authors’ Fair. Financé par l’association de la lecture de Santa Cruz et de la COE de Santa Cruz, la foire encourage les étudiants à écrire et illustrer leur propres livres.
Le but de cette foire n’est pas de juger ou bannir des livres. Chaque livre qui est exposé à la foire reçoit un certificat. Je peux certifier que chaque livre est un labeur d’amour et prends plusieurs semaines pour les élèves à terminer. Donc, hier, je suis allée à cet évènement en famille. André avait fait une courte histoire d’un méchant qui a fini par être puni (serait-ce un ex-financier de Enron?) tandis que Savannah avait écrit un charmant recueil de poèmes.
Un évènement qui a embellit mon weekend!

Like every year, our local shopping mall, the Capitola Mall is the host of an important fair: the Student Authors’ Fair. Sponsored by the Santa Cruz Reading Association and the Santa Cruz COE, the fair encourages students to write and illustrate their own books.
The fair’s goal is not to judge or censor any book. Every book entered receives an Award Certificate. I can certify that each book is a labor of love and take several weeks to be completed by the students. So, yesterday, I went to the event with the family. Andre had a short story about a bad guy who ends up being punish (sounds like an Enron executive fairy tale!) while Savannah wrote a series of charming poems.
An event that brighten my weekend!
