New perspectives
Friday, 16.09.
The exhibition started today.There was a lot of media presence, the crew was posing for pictures all morning long.
We got honred by the Lebanese Yachting Club as they wanted to thank us for environmental work. It's a very nice medal and we feel really honred.
The visitors coming by are very interested and the lebanese Greenpeacers have a lot of talking to do. There is a livly dialog going on, many people havn't heard much about climate change and solar energy before and it's suprising for them to see that it's really working even for the energy needed here for the exhibition itself.
We have open boat and many visitors are shown around. They had a painting contest for kids on the solar subject prior to the exhibition. These pictures are now hung up here as well and it gives the place a nice coloured touch.
Greg was supposed to take off back to Hungary tonight, but at the airport at three o'clock in the morning they weren't willing to give him his flight so he had to come back to us and we are happy to have him another day.
There was a bombing tonight in the city. They told us about it in a Café in fluent arabic and as we don't have easy acess to the internet we are not very well informed so far. We are waiting for further information tomorrow morning.
