Today is the first day that it has been "hot" here. And when I say "hot", I mean about 75 degrees Fahrenheit. These people think THAT is hot. We got off work early today because Mark wanted to go see some water buffalo that was in Cumberland Square a couple of blocks away, and Sally and I went to the park earlier than we normally do. The grassy areas were full of sun bathers taking advantage of the "heat wave". We did manage to get a little bit of sun being outside all day at the festival, and hopefully the little bit of exposure will prevent us from having heat strokes when we get back to the 100 temperatures of Texas! On our way to the park though, a Irish man stopped to tell us that we looked alike (we've noticed!) and then that we also looked like the Bush twins (which oddly enough my dental hygienist told me 3 days before we left to come here). That got us talking about Texas, and then his time spent in Ireland, Virgina, and London. We chatted for a little bit before we had to part directions, but we have determined that we really just love the Irish. Every Irish man that we have encountered so far this summer has been just lovely; they are much friendlier than the typical Brit.
Today was a great day for the festival- we had a crowd of over 300! Latin Tribe is a group of Brazilian dancers that perform samba and lambada (think nearly naked girls with huge feather headdresses, sky high heels, and lots of tassels, sequins, and bedazzling) and they always bring a big crowd! The capoiera group and salsa dancers were amazing, too, and the weather was perfect for an outdoor performance. Tonight we are headed to the National Gallery for the last time to make sure we have seen everything we want to see. We have been there twice already, but still aren't done, so we are taking advantage of the fact it is open until 9:00 on Wednesdays!
