| Thanksgiving Day picnic - 2011 |
Two years ago my daughter and I visited my brother in India and he took us on an adventure far up in the North East close to the Indian Chinese border area of
Arunachal Pradesh. The roads were bumpy and dangerous and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed the night in a Buddhist's nun's monastery and learned to make dumplings. We were having a steamed fish picnic in a rice paddy in a hospitable village when I realized it was Thanksgiving and I felt very fortunate.
Wonderful portraits, Joan.
ReplyDeleteThanks William. It was a great adventure.
DeleteI love the portraits of these beautiful people.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
DeleteI did buy the blue mask from the lady. She had a few to sell.
That looks wonderful - I would love to have been there too. When you said "India" I looked twice at the photos, because the people reminded me very much of the Laotian family that my family helped get settled here in NY back in the 1980s... then I read further and it all made sense. My Laotian friends taught me how to make their version of egg rolls, and I always squat on the floor with my mixing bowl and mix the filling with my hands - it's how I was taught, and I like to carry on the tradition.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I love seeing/hearing about your travels.
