On Sunday our friends Dee, Richie and their son Séimí came out the festival with us. There were loads of food stalls with food from all around the world. Pic above of Eric, Dee, Séimí and Richie munching away (not the most flattering of photos as people have their mouths full but check out the face on Séimí with chocolate grin! Hilarious!)
This is a pic of the main stage which had free music all weekend. We saw some cool acts there including Kila, a mariachi group and an odd Polish hip-hop group that didn't quite hit the mark ('her name was Natasha, she was from Russia. Natasha, from Russia, Natasha, from Russia.' etc., etc.).
After wandering around a while we ended up in the fairground again where Séimí had the best time ever. It was a really lovely fairground, especially for smaller kids, and none of them seeemed too happy to leave it.
I have to say that it was one of the best festivals that I've been to in a long while - family friendly, a really nice vibe, lots of free events and great food. All the ingredients for a great weekend.

The festival looks like it was a fun filled day. Seimi is so cute. He has changed a lot since I saw him at the wedding party in 2006.
I love reading your blog!
international ? where was the puertorican exhibit ? I'm talking porkrinds, plantains, and salsa music. (realy it looked quite the fun)

There was no one keeping the Puertorican side up I'm afraid. Next year you should come and fly the flag. We could set up a stand called 'The Ben - Puertorican man in his natural environment', with you grilling plantains, some steaks and dancing a mean salsa.
By the way, what are porkrinds?
