Half Marathon + Living Traditions

Last Saturday was pretty interesting. Megan ran her half marathon, and she did it within her goal time of two hours (her time was 1:59!).

Later that day we went to the Living Traditions festival in Salt Lake. We didn’t see much, because we got there at 7:00 pm, but we got to see “Son de Madera,” a cool Mexican band that played some kind of traditional music (I don’t know what’s called, but it sounds just like the music from the movie Frida). They were really good.


At 8:00, once they were done, we wanted to go to see the mariachi band playing in the other stage, but nobody else wanted to go, and we didn’t want to separate, so we just stayed and saw the Irish band that was playing there. I wanted to post a video of them, just to make Geoffrey jealous (the band consisted of two guys, one playing the guitar, and one playing the concertina, and he was really good), but I didn't bring my camera, and couldn't find it on you tube. Dang it.

Yeah, it's too bad you couldn't make the Old Man jealous!

Hey, thanks for linking to my Son De Madera vid. I also took a couple vids of Buille, the Irish band you liked. I just uploaded them to youtube. You can see them here:
