Wedding





I divided the day attending a wedding celebration at three different times in order not to exert myself.
 

Traffic had been diverted the previous day. I attended the monks ceremonies in the morning, till my body told me I needed some rest.

A shorter visit midafternoon as the heat got me me quite quickly.


By evening the main road had been reduced to one lane, a complete kitchen on site

US Veterans day 11 November 2017


Originally designated as Armistice Day at the end of WW1, celebrated on the 11th day, on the 11 month, with a two minute silence at the 11th hour.

In the US Congress amended a bill on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans Day."

In the UK two separate events are celebrated on that day. Remembrance Day is a memorial to all fallen soldiers, while Armistice day celebrates the end of WW1.
