Arab Fest

Well, that was fun.  A friend and I attended Arab Fest this afternoon. This is another sign that summer is upon us.  It's the time of year when we can expect a festival every weekend.  So yesterday and today was Arab Fest.  It was a perfect day weather wise, there was a good crowd of people and the camels were being kept busy.  Exotic music was drifting over the area, I ate baklava, that delectible Arab honey soaked pastry, explored all of the booths full of exotic (and some not so exoctic) items for sale and watched people ride the camels.  I did not ride a camel although theyhad a high platform from which to get on or off.  It would  have been just to sad to see a headline in tomorrow's paper "Old lady killed in freak fall from camel."  I also was not tempted to have a design painted on my hand or arm with hennah.  I just don't think those fanciful  designs look good on wrinkly old skin.  Still it was a fun time. This week and next weekend - Germanfest. Bring it on!!
