In april 2003 my wife, my daughter and i participated in the Lumières Meeting at Udine/Northern Italy. It was the second Lumières Event and the first one, that i went to.
I was very curious to meet all the people, who i only new from their posting in the Yahoo mailing list. And indeed, it was a very enjoyable event. Around 40 people came to Udine, mainly from Italy, France and germany. All were well equipped and had adorable costumes.
