Places visited
After doing some business, I met Rachel, Jon and Taran at Tara Kitchen Mediterranean Market in Albany, New York for a delicious lunch. It was wonderful to see them and be able to talk with them about their recent and future trips and events.
I also spend a couple of days with Brian, Bea, and Noah. We played board games, card games, took a walk, watched their travel pictures, ate delicious food they made, and went to the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham USA Hindu temple in Windsor, New Jersey. It was a wonderful weekend!
Rachel, Jon, Taran and I went to the Iroquois Arts Festival in Howes Cave, New York.
We had a great time watching the dancing and talks, especially the storytelling, and eating fry bread tacos with a strawberry drink. It was wonderful to spend time with them.
