Sorry I've been M.I.A. the past few days! Monday was a civic holiday so I had a 3-day weekend (woot woot) and after I did some packing and cleaning for my upcoming move I took time to enjoy the beautiful weather. Yesterday D. and I went to one of my favorite summer festivals at Hawrelak Park called Heritage Days. It's a three-day event that showcases over 85 different cultures from all over the world with sixty three pavilions where you can sample food, watch performances, shop for arts, crafts and clothing and just hang out. I was actually a part of this festival for three summers when I was a little girl, dancing at the Spanish Pavilion. (No I'm not Spanish, I'm Polish however my mom put me into Spanish Dancing classes. Go figure.) I had white-blond hair and pale, pale skin and all the other dancers who were
actually Spanish had dark hair and olive or tanned skin so I definitely stuck out like a sore thumb. But it was a lot of fun. And I still know how to play the castanets! ***
Below are some pics from our little outing yesterday.
Raaaaar!
I was soooo tempted. But my W.P. (that's Will Power) did not let me down. My wallet was grateful.
D. had Mexican Bunuelos which is a fried tortilla sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon and syrup. (With a side of grass.) Ok I'm not gonna lie, I ate three quarters of it. But only after he said he couldn't eat any more ; )
Thai sweetened sticky rice with ripe mango slices and a dollop of coconut milk. Better than chocolate. Seriously!
No outfit post from this day because I ended up spilling salsa all the way down my shirt and shorts : ( I'm afraid to admit this happens more often than not.

I hope you all had a great weekend!
