State Fair!


The State Fair of Queretaro is going on right now, and I went last night! I unfortunately didn't take my camera in with me, so I have one picture... of us in the car leaving. There are two GIGANTIC expo center-type buildings (think two buildings that dwarf the Jackman-Long at the Oregon State fair) full of really cheaply priced goods! I bought some earrings for less than half the price that they sell them for in the Centro. We (Brisa, Lluvia, Justin, Dany, Aide, Shultz, and I) beat our way through the crowds for about 3 hours of shopping. Then, we hit the rides. I don't think I've been on fair rides in at least 8 years, and 8 years really ages you a lot!! I can't handle rides like I used to! But it was very fun! And, of course, the yummy greasy fair food was WAY overpriced, and Im not supposed to be eating it anyways, so I limited myself to an apple-flavored pop. Fair food in Mexico = french fries, hamburgers & hotdogs, corn on the cob (with mayo, cheese, and chile!), stuffed churros (Mmmm!!), pancakes (yes, pancakes!) potato chips with salsa, and fruit popsicles covered in chile powder. Anyhow, even without food, it was really fun!!
