where others come for vacation ...

3 Days, 2 Humans,

1 Caterpillar Track Transporter, 2 Shovels, A few wooden & aluminium beams, 1 spirit level,

2 Tons of Natural Stones, 4 Tons of Gravel, a drainage Mat,

A lot of hard physical labor,

A bit of mind work - putting the Stone puzzle together,

-- and finally our backyard gets a Makeover --

An oasis to relax and enjoy the peace & quiet...

And so it was last year..

The journey in a few pictures..

Though the Rain Gods decide to play spoilsport, it doesn't thwart the enthusiasm of the folklore who want to keep the traditional dancing custom alive.

Armed with big smiles and donning colourful costumes "Trachtälyt vo Seelisbärg" (literally means the Seelisberg people who wear traditional costumes) of all age groups including 22 children, take to the stage and dazzle the audience with their dance moves playing to the traditional folk music.

Looking around at the packed audience, I'm fascinated by how Tradition - be it Costume, Dance or Music connect young and old. And as always -- there's delicious Cakes to be bought and enjoyed at these festivities, baked by the local women -- when they're not busy dancing around in their fancy Costumes..

Maybe next year, I'll show up in a Saree -- Why not?
