For the past few weeks Steve and I have been seeing signs all over town about this "Irvine Global Village Festival". Since we are now Irvine residents we figured we'd check it out. It usually takes Steve some convincing to go to these things, but once we get there we always have a great time. Not like we had anything else to do.
I lived in Irvine six years ago and apparently during that time a HUGE park was built. Bill Barber Memorial Park has a stadium, soccer fields, batting cages, several play areas, amphitheater, bicycle trails, bbqs, concession stands and beautiful gardens throughout. When we got to the park we didn't know where to start. There were cultural exhibits with everything from Henna Body Art to Zen's Purple Garden. On the other side of the park there were booths to sample food- Persian, Mexican, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Hawaiian, Cajun and French. They had everything! After sampling a few plates we sat in the middle of the park and listened to Brazilian music. I guess for now this is the closest I will get to traveling the world....someday.
Sorry for the blurry pics, still using my "lame" camera.

I thought these women on stilts were interesting-Steve didn't want to stand next to them (I think it was because they were taller than him-Ha!)
