WOMAD

We went to the WOMAD music festival in Marymoor Park. There we met Grace and Gary Burd and their daughter Hannah, and Mei Poon.

Hannah puts sunglasses on me. After some practice, she got pretty good at putting sunglasses on herself and other people.

These long ribbons on flexible poles were used to make colorful patterns in the sky, like writing in cursive.These dancers on the outskirts of the crowds did a very unique, highly personalized and spacey dance.


Earlier in the day we made a quick trip to the Bellevue Art Festival. They have some high quality arts and crafts there. Too bad it's in a parking garage.
