Festival of Embassies

It was the time of year when my favorite event was happening again, The Festival of Embassies.  There were 56 embassies represented this year. We weren't really sure if we would be able to go because of the weather.  However, I was determined to go.  I really wanted to try food from Qatar because I saw that they had a stand this year.  Unfortunately, when we arrived, they had already packed up and left.  The weather was pretty bad.  We decided not to take the stroller with us because we knew that with the rain there would be a LOT of mud and sure enough there was.  It was the first time I used the carrier with Amaya.  It was a bit complicated in the beginning because I needed to carry an umbrella as well to protect us from the rain.  Luckily, the rain died down and I didn't need the umbrella anymore.  We arrived just in time to hear the mariachi play.  Since we had lunch before going to the festival, I only wanted to get a few snacks.  The snack from Thailand was really good.  Before leaving, we grabbed another portion to go.  It seemed like more clouds were coming and it could rain again, so we cut our visit short and went back home.  Even though it was a short stay, I am glad we went.  Hopefully next year will be better.
