exhalations

Rode into DC to check out the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. This year's theme is The Silk Road, and the place looked like an anchient bazaar, with dusty streets lined with tents in which people were demonstration traditional crafts; the smell of curry and other exotic food was in the air; and middle eastern music provided the background sound. I heard that Yo Yo Ma was one of the featured entertainers ealier in the week. The festival is held each year and is one of the reasons I still live here.
