Noise after 11 pm 夜中に何の音?


Riot?  Fight?  Independence Day?  No, it is a wedding prossesion behind our house.   This was after 11 at night.   If you cannot see anything in the video, that was how it was: video, our camera couldn't capture images, since it was so dark.  However, we wanted to communicate how loud it was.   There were a lot of people in the darkness, and a lot more noise than you can imagine.  
Believe it or not,  all three children slept through this noise!

テロリスト?喧嘩?実はこれは、結婚式に行く花婿の行列です。夜の11時を過ぎていたのに、太鼓、花火と ものすごい音でした。ビデオは夜で暗くて何も見えないかもしれませんが、どれだけうるさかったのか、伝えたかったのです。3人の子供たちは、インドの音に慣れているのか、ぐすっり眠り続けていました。


Here is the end of the procession.   You can see the groom riding in the carriage.

Walking in the Park

We explored the park nearest to our new apartment.   It was a 2.5 km walk around the perimeter.



Walking happily

We are having a family walk in the park...so why are you reading and crocheting?


After the walk, all the shoes got dusty.
