This weekend was fairly busy and mostly entertaining. Hiro, a former exchange student came to visit us on Friday evening, and we spent all day Saturday at a small festival celebrating the bloom of thousands of Cosmos flowers on a hillside at a nearby park. There was a bit of food and entertainment provided--you can see a couple of the Japanese Taiko drumming performances on my YouTube channel--rodgottula.
On Sunday, we went to an Indian festival and ate loads of good curry, nan and tandoori chicken. There was Indian music and dancing, and a huge flea market surrounding the park as well. Because East Indian culture is not very well known in Montana, it was a great opportunity for the kids to see some stuff they'd never seen.
Finally, Monday was a national holiday here, so we went to a little festival put on by the design university just up the hill located behind our apartment complex. They, too, had tons of food booths and lots of arts and crafts activities for the kids as well as live music and a Power Rangers skit to entertain the kids. We spent about three hours there before going to Harborland to meet some relatives, who happened to be in town, for dinner. So, all in all, a pretty busy weekend.
