In all of the years I've lived in this area, I've never been able to attend the
Smithsonian Folklife Festival. This past weekend, however, Jesse and I made it happen! This year they were celebrating the Peace Corps, Rhythm and Blues and Colombia. The picture above is of a Peruvian woman weaving. Her training and business are supported by the Peace Corps.
Kenyan women making baskets.
Rugs made by Kyrgyz women.
These were made my a Colombian woman. I loved the colors!
Traditional Colombian dancing during carnival.
After the festival, we drove out to Clarksville, MD to go to
Roots Market, our most favorite grocery store (think Whole Foods with lots of veg items and lower prices) and had dinner at
Great Sage, the vegan restaurant next door. We started with the "Almost Raw Vietnamese Spring Rolls". They came with a delicious peanut sauce. So yummy.
Jesse had the udon noodle bowl with veggies and tempura tofu.
I had the Santa Fe salad, which has marinated tofu, tortilla chips, corn, black beans, tomatos, onion, guacamole, mixed greens and lime vinagrette. Amazing!
