Time to clean... and make lists.

Time to clean. I was so frustrated last night that I tore my place apart at midnight. Did I find what I was looking for?

YES!

The camera battery that had eluded me for over two months was sitting black-on-black right by my bed.

So, that's good news even if it's a day late.

I went to the international chorale fest yesterday and could've taken pictures. Groups from Indonesia (mixed adults) in their gold and black and Estonia (teen girls) were quite colorful and Veus from Catalonia (mixed teens) was great with hand movements. I got to speak to a couple young Estonians, Lithuanians (boys), Arizonans (girls) and Catalonians. A camera would've been perfect. Other groups: Germany (7 strong adult voices), Hungary (mixed), Finland (mixed), little children from Shenzhen, China (mixed), U of Montana (mixed), Sweet Adelines (older women).

The concerts continue for two more days but I don't have much energy.

This is once every three years.

I've ranted on facebook about how rude some of the audience was for the outdoor concert that opened the event, so I won't go there here.

As for my trip... it's also time to make lists so I can get something done most every day. If I leave too much to the end it exhausts me.
