Kenats festival was very successful. It started on Friday night with an outdoor concert at the steps of the National Parliament followed by activities on Saturday and Sunday. The final concert on Sunday night was amazing, there were thousands of people with plenty of security enjoying the various performances. Despite the threatening skies it did not rain during the festival at all, thank God!!! Ok I have to mention a funny story on the rain. While I was panicking on Friday afternoon deciding on what can be done if the rain continued all weekend, I was speaking to one of the organizers who’s young, energetic etc and her response just blew me away.

She had this notion that the “Government” guaranteed that it would not rain on Sunday (Independence Day). My question was how would they accomplish that? Well apparently the “Government” would use this “bomb thing” aiming up to the clouds and clear them away. Ok so if this contraption exists why doesn’t England use it every time it rains during the Davis Cup and the would be no need to stop the match and resume? Of course the answer was that it was an expensive contraption and that only countries in the pre Soviet countries had them!!! I was flabbergasted by this notion considered the person is only 22!!! So I guess the “bomb thing” was used since it didn’t rain even though the weather forecast said it would.

Finally two of my volunteers depart tomorrow but I’ll have more arriving on Monday so I’ll only have 5 in town, yeah!
