ディズニーランド
[By Suhita Shirodkar] 私は乗り物に乗らないので、ディズニーランドへの旅は、家族が乗り物のために一日中列に並び、私は時々彼らに会って軽食をとり、残りの時間をスケッチすることを意味します。私のお気に入りは、上の画像にあるパレードの早描きスケッチ一式です。パレードは20分ほどでした。しかし、私はそれが起こる約1時間前にフロントビューの場所を得るために縁石に座りました。つまり、私はあぐらをかいて座り、膝の上にメッセンジャーバッグ、その上に紙、筆ペン、水彩画キットを不安定なバランスで置き、準備万端 [...]...だったのです。
ダウンタウン・ディズニーでプチ同窓会
Fellow Urban Sketcher Suma from Connecticut was in Anaheim, California for a conference, so local Orange County sketcher Chris Ruiz-Velasco and I were able to meet up with her at Downtown Disney to chat and sketch over dinner. I met them both for the first time at Santo Domingo Symposium and again at Barcelona Symposium, so it was a delight to have a mini-reunion.

I love Disneyland, it really is a fun place, and everyone is so happy, probably because they are taking great big pots of your money. I first came eleven years ago, on my first trip to the US, but this time was my young son’s first visit, as a treat for his fifth birthday.

Every morning we see the throngs of people making their way up Harbor Boulevard toward the amusement park, and every night we see them all worn out, pushing their strollers, dragging their balloons and sleeping toddlers back to the parking lots and hotels. Although we won’t be hitting the park this year, we did get in a couple Angel games.
