Ryan and I went to dinner at all old favorite stand today, and stumbled upon a huge festival at a local temple. There were all kinds of people playing drums, doing processions, and gathering around these giant lit-up . . . things. Altars? I don't know what they were, but each had an amazingly huge pigskin stretched across the center. Here is a man in a procession, stopping to play the drum in front of each one. There were fireworks and cymbals and drums and various sacrificed animals, and all kinds of other noises and lights and offering tables and hundreds of people pressing around. We only stayed about 20 minutes because it was all rather overwhelming, and we feared for our hearing. But man, what a show!
