Greetings from Saaremaa, the great island in Western Estonia. We had a good but really busy week in Tallinn; we participated as volunteers in the Lootuse fest (well, we thought for a long time that it is about flowers, but the Estonian word 'lootuse' means simply 'hope'...) What we mostly did was that we helped as car park ushers, directing big buses coming from all over Estonia to their right places in the carpark. That was pretty fun...! It was quite big festival, altogether some 30 000 people were estimated to visit the festival during the 3 days. Billy... no, sorry, Franklin Graham, M.W. Smith and Exit were among the speakers / artists.
We also had fun tailgating... You know car park ushers do have some privileges... :)
As for the programme... One interesting, a little bit critical thought that came to our minds is that... why is it so that – once again - the children's programme was so much more fun, entertaining and interactive than that of the adults... Are we too old to enjoy clowns, BMX-bikers and theatre pieces?
The other highlight of the week, of course was the visit of our distinguished school leader, Mr D, as well as Claire, all the way from Finland.
wow, it was quite big festival!! i'm so happy for you.. it seems like you are having so much fun!
