Hello!
Here are a few pictures of typical houses in Turnhout, a small town of 40,000 inhabitants near the Holland border, and the rest are of the signing session.

The people of Turnhout with whom I had contact were friendly and helpful, and the city is full of those pretty houses typical of central Europe where there is a cold climate just as I like, although during the almost three days of our visit, it never rained or snowed, so all the activities were carried out well.

The "Bon Vivant" is a circular tent made of wood and multicolored glass with a thick canvas roof and it served as a restaurant for the “Artists’ dinner”. It’s a really nice place that was set up right in front of huge Kuub building, or cultural center, where some of the various events of the festival took place.

During the signing sessions I was overwhelmed by the number of fans that stood in line with suitcases full of albums for me to sign. We were supposed to have finished at five in the afternoon, but continued until the employees of the Kuub closed the building and only after me promising to return another year to continue the signings that were left pending. I feel sorry for those people who waited patiently until the last minute. It was tiring, I admit, but I can only thank all the fans who showed me so much affection. To all of them a sincere affectionate hug.
