saturday we did chores. indoor chores, with the exception of W wasching my subie and the nsx. saturday night, W's aunt and uncle stopped by on their way home from iowa (they live in arizona). it was nice to see them, this only being the 2nd time ever for me (the 1st being our wedding). they gave us sweet corn that his aunt picked from a corn field in iowa. we ate it today, and it wasn't sweet like i was thinking it would be, but it was still very good. and fresh!

today we stood out in 100 degree weather at the dragon boat festival at sloans lake. it was pretty fun, watching the boat races, eating the yummy food (altho W quickly noticed the lack of korean representation!), checking out all the various vendors. there was lots of food to eat, but we just had tibetan potstickers (deeelicious!), thai chicken kabobs and shrimp spring rolls. oh, and a huge helping of hawaiian shave ice. of course they didn't offer to put a scoop of ice cream at the bottom, but it was still nice and refreshing, especially out in the sun! after watching 3 races, i couldn't take the heat anymore, so we left. the dragon boat festival reminded me of our lantern festival days in sorority. only on a much much bigger scale. there was a little stage with performances (we didn't see any, but i saw a group of little chinese girls getting ready to dance, so cute!), lots of good food, tons of ppl enjoying it all. it's just too bad it was so damn hot.
