August 21 - Thursday

Met the newest volunteers from Holland today. They arrived late last night. What a delightful couple with their two year old son! They are Moluccan (from Indonesia originally, but living in Holland now). I worked on the computer all afternoon, but in the evening we were to meet our hosts and the rest of the volunteers at the International Arts and Crafts Festival. It was so packed (over 7000 people) that we did not find them. They turned people away because it was so full. We enjoyed the evening, never-the-less. We saw a dance group from Japan that was very interesting. I had decided not to carry my camera with me since we had already been to the festival once and it gets heavy to carry around all the time…but of course I regretted my decision.
