So today is the last day of our festivals here :( It is very sad, but it is also a good time now to relax and put our feet up for a bit. AS IF!!! No time for that. We get a day off and then we have to get hard at work for the Woodstock festival. Thats in about a weeks time - its a huge music concert over here in Poland. I dont really know what to compare it to back in Aus because i have never been to any concerts, but its a really big thing here. Ill take lots of photos, im really excited about it. The Hare Krsnas have a huge complex there with a stage, and heaps of tents, lots of food distribution and about a billion things going on at once. So it might be a bit hard to capture the whole thing but i will try my best.

So for Woodstock I am on the artistic preparations team which i think basically means cutting out fabric for 7 hours each day. Very artistic indeed. But it will be a good experience for me because i dont think i have really cut anything serious in my life before. By the time i get back to Sydney i will be very talented so you guys better watch out. Ill be able to cut, paint, and i even do my own laundry now, out of a bucket!!!! Amazing i know. I dont suggest that anyone tries it at home because it knocks you out for the rest of the day.

So I have just been reflecting on my trip so far, and was thinking about something my wise friend Chitti wrote to me "Half the fun of travel is the places you go and the other half is the people that you meet." I have met some really amazing, inspiring people so far that I really admire and i know that will continue to influence me for many years to come. I have to mention the leaders here on the tour have been so supportive of me, and they are soooo cool and are really taking care of me. I have been asking lots of spiritual questions from them and it has really helped me. I thought i would put some pictures up of them since they have really been such a huge part
of my experience so far and I love them so much.

Indradyumna Maharaja is the tour director and he is so inspiring, ive known him for most of my life and he really is like a fatherly figure. He is a really gente and caring soul, and doesnt mind that Im pretty hopeless at everything!! He has his own website where he writes anecdotes and things from the Polish Tour and other places he travels and it is really inspiring, its half the reason i came on the tour! http://www.travelling-preacher.com/ Take a look around the site and read some of his diary entries because some of the stories are so amazing!

Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja is also here on the tour, though he is leaving today :( He has been talking to me alot and putting up with my sometimes stupid questions. He is a really beautiful singer also! Really down to earth and cool.

Anyways Ill stop blabbing on, but everything here is going really well. This tour has been a really nice and easy introduction into Europe and i was able to adjust pretty well i think. Haha, the real test will be when i
am out by myself.

Love you all.
