Arab Street and Little India

Mosque at the end of one of the streets

Every Saturday we like to go explore and try something new.  Our choice this week was Arab Street which is known for its rugs and cloth goods.  We ate lunch at a nice little Turkish restaurant, bought a couple pashminas for myself, and learned a little bit about carpet.  We then ventured over to Little India and found they were having a large bazaar in preparation for Deepavali, which is a holiday at the end of next week.  We went through rather quickly since we were tired and short on time but we will certainly head back another time to see more of Little India.

Lots of fabric stores with the most beautiful fabrics
I've ever seen.  Too bad I left the sewing machine
at home.
