Busker Event

Last Saturday, March 24, we went to Seaport Village in San Diego to enjoy and support street artists.

Our favorite musician was this man who played a didgeridoo made from a yucca plant.  He was very articulate, and enjoyed teaching about the didge.  His music was other worldly and beautiful.

This is a sample of him getting started before he really layered on the sounds.

 

These are The Pogo Guys doing synchronized backflips.

And a double backflip!

 The Williams Brothers (and a sister) were a fun family group who drummed on water jugs and danced ala Michael Jackson.

Below is a picture for Dave.

The USS Missouri is docked at Seaport Village, and is now a museum with restaurants.  Fun facts: the "Mighty Mo" was the site of Japan's unconditional surrender to Allied Forces ending WWII.  Her nine 16" guns could hurl 1,800 pound shells over 23 miles in 50 seconds with pinpoint accurracy.  Her firepower was extensively used in the Korean War and in Desert Storm.

 Proof that I actually cook once in awhile!  The next day I made minestrone soup from fresh vegetables.  Nick, we'll have to compare notes!
