Eger (prounounced 'hager' with an almost silent 'h' and a long 'a'). It is a place of gushing water, literally and figuratively. There are fountains and parks everywhere, unusual for a city this small; and this conference has taken the InterVarisity model of telling you to drink from a firehose and amped up the pressure. Not much time for reflection in a schedule that had only one long break–1.5 hours at dinner—between 8:30 am and 10 pm. Don't think working that long--think of listening to a sermon that long! Nonetheless there is good stuff here and I am networking like crazy. I'll try and process a bit tomorrow (I'm skipping an optional seminar to walk the town) and include the gigantic fountain by my hotel.
2 pictures tonight. The first is the view from last night in the day, the second is of a young Slovak cellist who played for us tonight. He does this wild Bobby McFerrin kind of thing, playing the cello, producing rhythm by clicking and popping his mouth, and using his voice to be a third instrument. I made a brief recording—I'll post it upon request.
