Dull, steamy Sunday in Philadelphia.  It was so quiet you could have
heard a chipmunk belch--seems like half the population went to the
seashore.  John and I headed into the city in the '57 Dodge, looking for
a pleasant drive.  We discovered a cricket match in Fairmount Park--not
exactly what we expected to see--so we stopped the car and took a closer
look. 

Met a delightful lady, Ismay, who introduced us to nearly everyone on
the field, as well as many of the bystanders.  The game was totally
unintelligible to two middle-aged American guys, but the Jamaica and
Trinidad-inspired eats were just sensational!  Spiced pork, spiced fish,
a drink called Mauva (or something like that)--it was a blast.  

Some photos of the people include

Ismay and her family:

A rather heated domino game in progress.  I had to assure the players
that I wasn't there to raid the betting:

A little later we stopped by Kyle Cassidy's casa.  He took a break from
stripping century-old wood for a little relaxation.

Enjoy the shots!
