Magic Bus

As I was driving to school today, I saw something new.  A bus was parked on the side of a street in downtown, completely covered with a red tarp. 

It made me wonder if someone was trying to hide the bus.  If so, they did a terrible job.  Actually, it made me wonder if some celebrity was in town.  Maybe that was their tour bus and they didn't want anyone to know in what hotel they were staying.  Either way, it was strange to see a large bus hidden under a red tarp in the middle of downtown. 

I mentioned this to a friend later, and she made a good observation.  I actually have no proof that there was a bus there at all.  I saw a tarp, roughly in the shape of a bus, but didn't see the actual bus.  Regardless of that small detail, I'm still going to claim I saw that bus.  :)

Another Eventful Weekend

Yes, I've been neglecting my little blog again, but this time I have a good excuse!  A friend from college got married this weekend, and another friend came to town and stayed with me so she could also go to the wedding.  What that means is that I had a lot going on last week and this weekend.

The festivities started Thursday night when Mehendi night.  That's when you all get together for food, music, and getting henna put on your hands.  Here's what my hand ended up looking like:



Friday was the Catholic ceremony, followed by the Hindu ceremony on Saturday.  Did I mention that my friend's flight was delayed and she didn't get in until 1:00 am?  And that we stayed up until 3:00 am talking?  And that my puppy woke us up early the next morning?  Yeah well, all that happened.  But I still had a blast!
