Festivals and Bones

As part of our promise to spend every weekend enjoying Philadelphia, Alex and I spent our Saturday in center city.  We usually use the website http://www.uwishunu.com/ to find fun festivals and events happening around town.  This weekend was the India Festival at Penn's Landing in honor of India's Independence Day.  With the hope of finding good homemade Indian food, we went straight there!  Sure enough, there was great food, awesome costumes, and good dancing.  Happy Independence Day, India!
 
The beginning of the parade.
 
Finding the food was our first priority, then we could watch the pretty dancing.
  
My favorite bridge!

After the festival, we decided to go to the Mutter Museum.  I have been dying to go to this museum since we moved to Philly.  It has a huge collection of medical specimens, both normal and abnormal.  It was so neat!!  We weren't allowed to take any pictures inside though :(
 
So excited to finally visit!
