Fiesta-in-the-Park

I am getting excited for Saturday to roll around. It is my annual girlfriend-get-together-no homework-eat-your-way-around-the-lake day. It is a huge outdoor craft fair held yearly in downtown Orlando. It is a 2 day event, but my friends all meet on Saturday. We arrive about 10 am and stay to closing at 6 pm. There have been years when it has rained, or it has been freezing cold or hotter than a summer day. I think this year it should be like baby bear...just right!

We start our day out looking at crafts but then become very hungry smelling all the vendor booths and eat an early lunch like at 10:30 in the morning. Then we wander but come to any number of booths that sell things like kettle corn, Italian ices, cinnamon covered almonds, soda, hot dogs, funnel cakes, and fried potatoes that crunch like potato chips but are one whole peeled potato. Of course one cannot walk by without purchasing some to just nibble. Before long it's gone and another booth of food pops up. I buy Christmas gifts, browse at all kinds of jewlery, T shirts, sweatshirts, pins and more. Luckily we are constantly walking and burning off all those calories or we would be too large to fit back in our cars.

I am counting down the days to Fiesta! Maybe I'll run into some of you?
