Last weekend before the
Esperanto Congress. Lots of work to do!
Swam after work yesterday. Water was so warm and rough, quite fun.
Esperanto going well. Have 8 more lessons in
Complete Esperanto, so gonna try to knock at least 4 of them out this weekend. Also about 30 pages into
The Bridge on the Drina, so gonna read a bunch more over the next two days. I'm also reading
Hamlet (in English) for our family book club, and will finish that this weekend. So many good lines and I'm only on the second act! Keeping up with my favorite podcast,
Pola Retradio.
The Congress's
schedule is firming up. Looks like Friday will be sign-in, dinner, and getting to know each other. Saturday morning will be the opening ceremony and then there'll be a few talks I want to catch, including two from the guy who runs an Esperanto music production company and one by the current UEA president. Saturday will end with a Banquet whose guest speaker will be the author of Being Colloquial in Esperanto.
Sunday, God willing, will be sunny, because that afternoon there will be an excursion on Boston's Freedom Trail, all in Esperanto. I'm looking forward to that. The morning will have plenty of talks that I probably won't want to miss. And that evening will end with a variety show. This is where I believe
Zhou-Mack will perform. Monday morning will be the closing ceremony.
This will be my first major Esperanto event, so people watching will be integral for me. Know what I mean, @Radioclare?
