Philadelphia Folk Festival (50 years) August 3, 2011

Well, it is 72 degrees and misting on our beautiful Folk Fest site. As you were reading yesterday's post, you might have thought - "what is this green bus" she is chattering about.  A special treat for you today, below is THE GREEN BUS!  We are so amazed that this old bus (from the 60's), can rev up and down these hills every year and makes it to its usual spot next to Camping Headquarters.  When one climbs on top, the view is astounding.  The campers make the top a "fun place" to be, with a rainbow on the side of it.  One looks for many things to remind you of the fest, and this is just one of them.

Next door to the Green Bus, you will see Port-a-Toilets. This year I must count them, for a trivia question. Pity the poor folks that empty them in the heat of the day - come rain or shine, they are always there.  Speaking of the weather - at the end of August, one never quite knows what to expect from Mother Nature. Scorching hot....rain....hail...and once a "monsoon"...yes.  What you say, you think only southern Asia has the seasonal winds marked by heavy rains! See with your own eyes below:

But really, most of the time the weather has cooperated; if not - the stories abound.  Remember when the kids had mud up to their knee......remember when our tent blew over on our neighbors face.....remember when my eyelids were so soaked.......Ha-ha. 

P.S. Please remember when you come to bring, wear and participate in the sunscreen ritual.  Protect your skin, it being the largest organ of your body, or else you will be sent directly to melamona jail (do not pass go and do not collect $200)

COUNTDOWN: 15 more days til campers arrive & 16 more days for day trippers.

Signing off, til manana....... The Polish Princess
