Festival Season

Vancouver's festival season is well underway.  Knaves and poets and flower children alike gather together on the streets to play, make music, and make merry.

I worked two festivals in a row over the last two weekends.  Italian Day and Car Free Day.  Both allowed streets to be blockaded from cars, so that the party was on the street.  I worked at a booth selling wares from India, Indonesia, and Thailand, opposite a PA system blaring Salsa music.  There was dancing in the streets. Oh, what fun!  I wanted to dance but had to be an observer.

There were a lot of Brazilians out there.  I even got to practice my Portuguese.

Ah, beleza.
