OCCITAN, CATALAN, GIPSY & CATHAR CULTURES

Gypgy Culture

Today, we’ve reviewed Future Continuous, Enough, Countable and Uncountable and we’ve continued our reading about a robbery in a castle. We’ve created a difficult composition divided in two parts with two tempos and two parallel stories and we’ve talked about Occitan and Catalan Poetry in the XII and XIII Centuries and its affection in political and historical facts. 

In this line, we’ve remembered the importance of Gipsy culture in the Middle Age and its influence over Kingdoms because of Tarot and we’ve looked back on the Cathar’s culture and the importance of the woman as herbalist and quack doctor opposite to the ideas of the catholic clergy.

The Collins Family has suffered a terrible shock when the Love Boat has sunk. Everybody has tried to swim and help other members of the family and, in an intense emergency plan executed perfectly, all the family has reached a life boat and sat in the sixteen free seats. David has had to join to the family’s boat using a thick rope.

While the emergency rescue teams were helping The Collins Family inside the helicopter, there was a strong movement, perhaps because of the rough wind, and Gemma fell down into the water… again.

We haven’t got a lot of news about her. We only know that she’s alive in an island and we’re trying to find her following her GPS signal. Tomorrow, we will wait a happy ending. 

Cross your fingers family and pray… if you’re believers!
