We were initially going to perform in a beautiful fortress... but the weather was bad so we moved to the theatre in Niksic. There were a lot od people at the concert, in spite of the rain. Thank you, Niksic!

We flew over the Andes today, to Santiago de Chile! We are always travelling or performing. There was someone in today’s audience who had travelled 900 km to Santiago. Amazing! From this "CAÑIBLOG", I thank him sincerely for coming.
I have also seen flamenco guitarist Carlos Ledermann for the first time in 16 years! He hasn’t changed a bit! I don’t know how he does it. He is a wonderful person and we laughed a great deal over dinner.
