Chandler

Weather was nice today, but cloudy, probably in the high 60's. No shorts for me today, LOL. We went down the 202 to Gilbert where Marg got into a Target store where she found some good deals. They must have been real good as she bought some clothes.

After that we went on to Chandler, it had a reputation in the old wild west. According to the tourism info, it is an arts & culture hotbed of activity. Anyway the city was hosting a multi-culture festival. It was great and they were able to showcase a very wide cultural diversity. They had: dancers, a Japanese tea ceremony, the fire dept pipe & drum core, etc. I took a picture of an east Indian group who's routine included balancing scimitars on their heads. We also got to witness 10 new citizens each from a different country take an oath of citizenship.

Had lunch at the Santan Brewing co., a local micro brewery. It is in an old bank building & the food was good and the wheat beer was excellent. If you have been to Brewsters in Edmonton, it was something like that. What a neat community, sometimes you just get lucky and happen on a day like this.
