No Woman, No Cry

Well, today was the first day of English camp. I am amazed at how well it went. The kids were very well behaved, and even went to their rooms tonight with out a struggle. Don't know if that is a sign of great things to come, or the calm before the storm.

As with last years camp, it begins at the same time as the Marzell music festival, a small rival of the Montreux Jazz Festival. So far tonight we have heard several marches and the Neil Diamond classic "Sweet Caroline" performed by a brass band, and currently the speakers are sending Bob Marley across the hills in the area. This little fest will go for three days, and if it is anything like last years, I can expect little sleep. At one point last year during the wee hours of the morn I heard covers of "Highway to Hell," and "Knocking On Heaven's Door." It did make for an interesting devotional thought at the next morning's prayer time.

Currently listening to: German folk music echoing through the hills
