Oops. Diwali (pronounced di-VAH-lee in India) actually happened before Frank and Daryl came to visit. It's all a little foggy anyway. Below are some pics from the great Indian festival that shuts down the entire country. Bigger than Christmas in the US, Diwali is a wild holiday that includes massive amounts of commercial grade fireworks and other occassionally homemade pyrotechnics. There are no rules and no limits. Fireworks begin going off around 4 am and continue incessantly until around 5am the next day. As in on the street in front of our house. We were waiting for Cubbon's hair to start falling out. Of course, he never went outside into the noise, but the noise found him anyway. It found us too. Not much sleep was had, but the festival was preceeded by a fabulous school performance and really fun afterparty with some of the families from Houston's class.
