After a long day of walking around the neighborhood, I tried to take an afternoon nap. I knew there would be music but I was under the impression that it would be played in different large open spaces around the city. I was not expecting for there to be Sting and Rolling Stones songs being played outside my bedroom window. Apparently, wherever there was 5 square feet of space, someone with a guitar, a harmonica or a saxophone would be playing music in the street. In front of bars, on church steps....everywhere.
But I'm not complaining! This celebration of music on the longest day of the year, was a magnificent display of talent, artistic appreciation and community spirit.
After my failed attempt at a nap, we walked around all night and watched different bands play all sorts of music, from jazz, to rock, to ska and big band; the streets were filled with people dancing and singing along until the wee hours of the morning.I've got a wine tour scheduled for 9am, here's hoping they'll stop playing the U2 music before 2am so I can get a good nights' sleep.
