Jeff and I made our annual pilgrimage to the 16th century at the Arizona Renaissance Festival. We spent our time visiting the artisan shoppes, watching shows, and throwing pointy things (axes and stars).

Many years ago, I took lessons in bellydancing. I loved it and love to watch it. Ladies, if you want to tone up your abdomen and lose weight a fun way, take up this energetic activity!

Sigh. It’s the close of the day. Everyone gathers to dance to the beating of the drums, until the cannon fires to signal sunset.
