He reads something from a scroll
Pretty little girls - ooh Kiarah really wants one of these outfits!
Whip cracking is the sound you hear - apparently difficult to do
One of the delicious cakes handed to me to eat - everything is free drinks and snacks handed out - so nice they not trying to sell anything or make anything commercial out of their traditions
Kids were in their element with the most delicious cookies to eat - they bake well here
