And...our stand!!!We had an extra adventure with the weather -it was raining all the weekend and became much colder....so for to keep all dry we had to put the stands very tide under the tent and when the custumors were inside too was a real funny situation.But  we sold a lot of jackets and shalls becouse everyone was cold and wet.

After the festival the metro was so crouded

Here are some videos to show to joyful travel in the metro that night .All were chanting mantras!
