Kaajal & Amol's Wedding - Raas Garba, Calgary Alberta

Honoured to have been invited by good friends Vandana & Devandra Patel to the wedding of their daughter Kaajal to Amol.

First joyous event - A supper followed by a dance the evening before the wedding - the "Raas Garba".

I used to go with Vandana each year to a garba in Regina but now she's moved away to Calgary.  I miss Vandana, her friendship and these get togethers so much.

Had an incredible time - great food and I danced and danced and danced, albeit NOT the 'Stick dance".

I would dance this in Regina and I was okay - but only if I "didn't think about it".  As soon as I thought about it, I would get out of step and mess everybody up. 

Fantastic time! 

Beautiful bride & groom.

A day at the lake!

Lovely day at Echo Lake.
Very sad that camera lens has a defect
Also note the blue along edge of lake - Horrible, repulsive "Blue Algae".  Disgusting along edge and in the water.
Fish not biting for Jerry this evening - only the one small fish caught.
Still lots of fun with Bev & Jerry & Bernadette!

More fun at friend's farm!
