Crossroads Mall had a mini Indian festival with vendors and performances all day today. We fell into it by accident since Belen had a hair appt. but we did watch some of the performances and had mehndi applied to our hands. While it was drying Belen rode the carousel several times and I sat down to people watch. All the Indian women with their colorful saris, it was a joy. One woman, carrying a camera, asked her friends, "Who is that chocolate girl?" There was a dark little Indian girl walking by in a bright green lehenga. I watched the woman walk towards her and then turn in circles, looking perplexed for the parent of the little "chocolate girl". After asking everyone in reach, she looked at me, questionably....."Is she with you?" It was Belen she had been looking at, wanting to take her picture for some smile campaign. Of course Belen stepped up and gave her best.
