The Weekend - Never a Dull Moment

On Friday night we went to a sports bar with about 15 of Jon's co-workers; in other words, I was out partying with 15 guys. We drank a few beers, bowled and the guys sang Karaoke to "Hotel California." Unfortunately, the video did not come out so I can't post it. Needless to say, it was awful. My bowling game was pretty good so I think I did a good job representing the female gender.

On  Sunday afternoon we went to Shilpa Raman which is an arts and craft village with rock sculptures gardens, waterfalls, and historical exhibits. Most of the rocks were in their natural state and were labelled according to what they resembled. There were many throughout the park that were sculptured into forms as well. People were lined up to take a ride in this ball. It looked like they were having fun, but the ride was very short; up and down the carpet once. I think we had more fun watching than the riders had riding.

There was a large group of adults who were playing what looked like a version of duck, duck, goose. The set up seemed complicated and the guy in red was directing it. There was a long pause between rounds. They were having a grand time and we watched them for a while.

There were several exhibits featuring mannequins in historical reenactments. What doesn't show up is the trash scattered around. Even in this park, which has the potential for being a very nice retreat, there is litter everywhere.

There were plenty of arts and crafts. Now I know where Pier One get its imports. There were many beautiful pieces, but a lot of it is too big for us to consider. Once again, we were hounded by the retailers as we walked through the market. I guess I should say I was hounded because they were mostly hollering "Madam, Madam, come look." This market is pretty accessible and I will be making another one or two trips back there alone. I have actually been given a directive by Jon to shop.
