Irvine Global Village Festival

Haven't documented few things we did in last few weeks. 

On October 4th we went to Irvine Global Village Festival. Irvine's signature annual event, expanding awareness and highlighting the extraordinary diversity of this city. A chance to  explore more than 50 different cultures, sampling new foods, learning to belly dance, learning about world religions, experiencing the world without ever leaving Irvine. 

We loved that India had a huge presence in the festival. A lot of food sampling, HSS's small subset of the Hindu Exhibition and Surya Namaskar demonstration, Mandir's booth and my favorite - several Indian dance performances. It turned out to be perfect weather too. Avi and Neev enjoyed the shuttle ride. Avi wanted to know how long he'd have to wait to be a Police Officer so he could ride the cool electric scooters like them. He watched the Puppet show and listened to a story in Noah's ark. Neev loved running on the grass and we loved watching our little doll tumbling and toddling. It was Fun.
