Whew! It's been a scorcher these last few days in Los Angeles, but that didn't stop me from having some outdoor fun! I went out sketching yesterday with my new drawing group, Drawn West, at the Pharaoh's Festival in Santa Monica on the 3rd Street Promenade. I would definitely recommend anyone interested or even curious about Egyptian culture to check it out sometime, they have it once a year during the Labor Day weekend. There was live music, photo ops with Pharaohs and Egyptian princesses, falafel and mediterranean bar-b-que. There was also supposed to be a performance by specialized Egyptian martial artists, but we missed them. There were other vendors selling jewelry and crafts, and even some delicious crepes. We did get to see a group perform Saidi music in costume, which made for some great sketches!
