Campfire Dinner & DJ Party

Oct 29, 2004 - evening and well into the night

Next on the agenda was an outdoor dinner and campfire at the campground just above Hanifl Center, organized by Tenzing and Tsering, with their sons helping out. Gautam is a very talented guitarist.

This was taken at an outdoor campfire feast, with a team of hired cooks. I think the darker balls of dough you see at the beginning are makki ki roti (corn bread). When you hear my voice, I'm speaking a mishmash of Italian, English, and Hindi.

Dinner, song, and chat were followed by a DJ Dance Party. It took some time to explain to the DJ that we are old people and like old music. He was baffled that we wouldn't get out on the floor for the latest tunes. When he finally found stuff we liked, he played it over and over again.
