Home away from home

In the KLOSTERBERG area, not far from where we live, a festival
was in full swing, so we took the dog and made our way out there
to see if we could see something unusual or exciting.
To my surprise I discovered many many stalls serving African food

as well as African souvenirs or nickynacks.
Here we came across an African musician playing the drums.

A few stalls further down the pathway we spotted an African
cooking up a storm, what looked like a BBQ, turned out something
quite different, perhaps you'll get the picture if you click on the
pic for a better view - here Mr. CC wanted to know "What's for
lunch!"

I love a good curry dish, and as the smell of curry filled my nostrils, I

had to kill my curiosity by charging over to this stall to find out what's

on sale. This guy (from Tangier)

sat almost motionless behind his dark sunglasses, and I never showed

the courage to enquire about his wares! !

Although I must admit I'm not a great fan of African curios, but

seeing this made me a wee little homesick.

More African souvenirs to buy, from shoes to furniture, but I

was more interested in taking a pic of the man in the center of the

photo standing close to the palm tree.

He was wearing a traditional Nigerian dress.

As the weather was good and the sun was shining brightly, it

was no surprise that the crowds were overpowering - everytime I

took a shot of this guy, someone walked in front of the camera or

he was simply wiped out of sight.

This was the only picture and stall that had nothing to do with Africa,

but the Indian lady was very friendly indeed when I stopped to look at

her pretty things, so I decided she's worth the photo - even though

she never got the chance to smile into the camera. (She's in the

center of the picture, dressed in the yellow Sari)

It just goes to show, one doesn't have to fly all the way to Africa

to see what's cooking, no way! Just come along to one of Switzerland's

sunday festivals!!
