This Saturday we attended the Cathedral's Garden Fete in central Delhi. It turned out to be a very soggy day indeed. We went along at the invitation our friend Christopher Raj who is both my colleague at JNU and an Anglican priest at the Cathedral. Owen played each game of skill and chance until he'd won a prize at each. Adelaide and I sampled the vegetarian goodies and baked treats until we'd tried one of each! John just sampled everything, period. After that, we came back to the apartment to dry off, read books, and drink tea for the whole afternoon.
Sunday, John's friend Scott from Norway was in town. We invited him along to the Suraj Kund Mele Festival just outside of Delhi. It threatened to rain all afternoon but did not. We enjoyed the spectacle of folk dancing, acrobats, costumed performers, and singers. Oh, and yes, we shopped in about 147 different handicraft stalls. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here a few thousand:
