Mosaic, a step back in time to Bollywood and Hollywood

Hi everyone! I have had some internet issues, but now that I am back home I can post the last two days and all the fun I had. We hung out most of the day as it was a bit drizzly. Then we got dressed up for the Mosaic dinner and dance. It was held on the top of a mountain where I met "Omar, the camel trader" and he agreed to pose for a picture with me. It was dusk and the views of the mountains were gorgeous hues of blue and red.










Olan, the spiritual organization that hosts and lives on site is a like minded group of artisans and trades people, average age, 32. It is sort of like a kibbutz and the people are very talented. Some work in town and some work on the land. They have built their own community with a restaurant and a few times a year they put on spectacular musical shows complete with costumes. lighting and dinner. The theme was Hollywood, Bollywood and many people dressed up in authentic costumes.








There was a fabulous group of versatile musicians that provided music before, during and after dinner.










There was a tree house with water flowing harmoniously down the various pipes and waterfalls and parts of the tree provided posts for the restaurant. There were chairs and benches to sit on with wine and appetizers










Marie and even Pepe, bless his motorcycle riding heart, got dressed up for the occasion.









This is the lobby of the restaurant, named Mosaic.










This was an appetizer which was a work of art! filo dough with some yummy veggies inside.








Marie ordered the trout in a ginger sauce. Looked diving!











During dinner, Jessica, the star of the show sang and the band played music from jazz to blues, to rock and roll.










These girls sang I will survive in their aprons, feather dusters and their 20's style costumes. Great voices and terrific entertainment.









One group danced with traditional Bollywood costumes. They were fabulous!










Of course, even Elvis rocked the house! Then spoke with an Indian accident.










The desserts were beautifully prepared and tasted even better, if that is possible.









I don't know how Pepe was still hungry after all that luscious food, but he was ready to eat the chocolate mousse without a spoon!

What a wonderful evening, one I won't soon forget.
