Today’s the day! All the batteries have been charged, the camera cards emptied, the netbook loaded. Lots of awkward packing to think about, like: one tripod or two? how to wrap the accordion? and so on. And what to wear, so as not to freeze at Heathrow but not to swelter when we get there.
I do hope we can find some internet in the hotel(s) so that we can keep this blog going, because I’m certain there will be so much to see and do, and we might not remember it all when we get back. I should be able to upload some photos, not sure about video yet. If you’re reading this, then you know we have connectivity. Do feel free to respond as the spirit moves you.
