Jazz Festival in Jeri

Recently there has been a lot going on in the main square outside of Jens and my pousada. A large stage has been set up in preparation for the Jeri Jazz festival, complete with lights, a huge sound system, two hundred or so chairs and a make shift bar. The entire square has been sectioned off which means the main street is void of the usual stream of cars, trucks, buggies and motorbikes. During the day this means the main street is much quieter then usual but once the sun goes down and the music starts, it is anything but quiet. The jazz music is great to listen to, it's like being back at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Idaho I used to go to with my school band.

Our pousada is in a great location to listen and enjoy the music, it's like having box seats! The only downside is after windsurfing all day it makes for an awkward obstacle when you're trying to fall asleep. Closing the windows doesn't help keep the volume down when the concert is right outside! Although if this is my biggest complaint of the day, I don't think its too bad.

Happy Birthday to Dad yesterday!
