Festivals

Last Saturday, we went to two different local festivals, one near the school where I am, and one in the city center at Parker's Piece. I finally uploaded the pictures, and here's some of my favorites.

There was a parade (on the sidewalk) to the first festival. See the little scouts, Daddy? I like the fairy, myself.

This guy was just chilling in his tent, wearing a medieval costume and playing some sort of wind instrument.

The whole entrance was surrounded with old military vehicles and a ROTC-like young people dressed in military uniforms fundraising for a charity.

The second festival was much bigger, with lots of merchant booths.

There were plenty of games with typical carnival prizes. This particular picture's for Casey.

Liz and I enjoyed the food tent- there were lots of samples. I bought some amazing homemade honey roasted cashews, not from this guy, but one of his neighbors. They were sweeter than the regular machine made ones, with a delicious, thick, carmel-y coating. They're all long gone by now!

There was a team? group? collection of people? playing cricket. We stopped to watch, but even among the four of us, we couldn't really figure it out. We decided that we'll just have to go to a pub during a match? game? and ask lots of questions, during commercials, of course.
