 Me,
Akiko, and Masako sitting on the lawn in front of the
entertainment stage. Still pretty early. |
 Um,
same picture. We bought food from the House of India. |
 Ayumi
and Yuka hanging out and waiting to get some food. |
 This
turned out to be our group. Much smaller actually than last
year. We stayed until 3:00 pm. Some of our other friends
came at 2:00 pm but we missed each other. |
 Yeah,
Yeah. Too cute, huh?
はい、はい。かわいいですね？ |
 Me
and Akiko eating the fried bread thingy from the house of
Hungry....um....Hungary. |
 This
is pretty much a standard purchase every year. This is fried
bread from the House of Hungary. The toppings include
cheese, sour cream, and garlic. It was smaller this year but
the taste was still incredible. |
 Another
standard purchase every year. This is the combo plate from
the House of India. A few of our friends are from India and
I should know the names of these foods but I keep
forgetting. I know the bread is called nan bread. Anyway,
the food is pretty spicy which both of us like. |
 Me,
and Akiko with our friends Rakesh and Meenakshi Jain with
their two kids. We met Meenakshi a few years ago at a House
of India performance in Balboa Park. We became friends and
spent a wonderful evening at their house last year. Hoping
to spend a lot more time with them in the coming weeks.
Meenakshi is very involved with the House of India and the
lawn program at Balboa Park. Last year I made
several videos of the House of India performances. Definitely worth
watching. |
