Pirates and the Temple

We found a wonderful (although kind of scandalous) Pirate Festival. We had fun walking around looking at all of the elaborate costumes. Here are some of our favorites. This first one reminded me of "Smee" off of Hook.It truly was a pirate village. Every one was drinking "ale" and there were a lot of wenches (notice none of them made it into any of our pictures). Some had parrots and we even saw some real swords.

This next guy went all out. Notice the creepy eyes. I noticed them from a ways away. It totally creeped me out!

Later that day we made our way to Oakland to visit the temple and the Visitor's Center. We had a wonderful time walking around the temple grounds. It was so peaceful and exactly opposite the Pirate Festival.
