Notes from a faithful 8-year-old correspondent, code-named Keegan:
I'm not in Issaquah anymore, that's for sure. Bumbershoot has lots of music, promos for radio stations and booths for cellphone companies. Lots of people, too, walking around and eating food from places near and far: Mediterranean countries like Lebanon, Turkey, Greece ... Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, India ... European countries like Germany ... American regions like Pennsylvania Dutch and Philadelphia.
Was accompanied by Ronald, who went sniffing after spicy stuff like lamb kebabs with mint sauce, phad thai with sriracha. Me, I picked a really interesting grilled meat dish made from ground-up, leather-covered animals called beef, accompanied by root vegetables crinkle-cut into finger-size pieces and deep-fried. Tasted great when doused with a sweet red sauce made from squishy red fruit. Ronald says the natives call it "burger and fries." Funny people, grown-ups.
