Asian Festival & Shenandoah River State Park


Sunday, I took a moderate 10 mile hike with about 1000 feet of elevation gain with rocky overlooks in the Shenandoah River State Park. http://www.dcr.state.va.us/parks/andygues.htm





On Sat. Biked 8 miles one-way to the Asian Festival in Reston which promoted a greater understanding of the Asian culture from Thailand, China, India, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Burma, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Singapore and Malaysia. Enjoyed wonderful performances of Japanese Daiko, Chinese lion dance, Krung Fu, Thai dance, etc. and smells of different cuisines (but I did not taste too much to avoid becoming too stuffed to bike back home). I played the spinning wheel and won a T-shirt form the Vitamin drink company (at a probability of 5%). I took some photos of the water lily in the pond on the trail near Reston.
