Ethnic festival #2: India Fest! This event just happened to be happening the same day that we had decided to go to the Oktoberfest, so we went from German festivities, to Indian festivities. 🙂
We went into the shop in the Hindu temple first, so everyone could use the bathroom. While we were in there Adam ended up pulling the fire alarm (little stinker). NOBODY left the building when the alarm went off which was kind of interesting. Yes it was a false alarm but how could EVERYONE in the building know that?
When we went back outside we found that Laurel’s family had arrived as well. So we sat on the lawn together to watch a performance of a Hindu play. It was hard to tell what was going on, since we didn’t watch it from the beginning and we aren’t very familiar with Hindu beliefs, but it was interesting, and it ended with the hero setting fire to a large demon with many heads and arms. Lighting the demon up set off a bunch of fireworks to end the festival.
