June 10: Free creativity


Still no word yet for a departure date. I had expected to be on my way to Cameroon by now. I don’t complain. As long as I am still around, I will get to experience some of the city’s summer activities. I join in some of the Luminato festivities and fulfil my festival volunteering obligations. This arts festival is only 5 years old but has already made a mark in the international art scene, offering high quality art in various forms: music, theatre, installations. Most events are free. This year’s lineup is stellar once again: the uncensored “One Thousand and One Nights”, Ann Patchett, The Canadian Songbook, Malcolm Gladwell.


I join in the Luminato volunteer rally and opening celebration. I am not in the mood for indie rock Beast so head home and crank up Vivaldi’s Double Concertos instead--my standard Friday evening music of choice.
