Went to the NY Renaissance Faire
Went to the NY Renaissance Faire today.
Weather was cool and slightly rainy.. until later in the afternoon when it got heavier.
Still it was a day away..
We had our customary Turkey Leg, Soul in a bread bowl and fresh Potato chips (mmmm).
No mead. I was the driver this time around.
We saw a Magic Show, Dexter Trip on the high wire and a comedy act.
In addition we stopped at the birds of prey and saw different birds this time around.
Wow a real live vulture. Cool bird but a bit scary.
When they talk about eating like a vulture... I now understand what it means.
This bird shreded and gulped a chicken leg in 7 seconds.
Tricia took some pictures of the parrot habitat called Parrots without People.
I'll post soon.
We also strolled by the petting zoo which seemed to have very sad animals.
Poor fellows. Of course we stopped by to feed them a bit.
We stopped by one shop that presented the art of sphere's.
A cool showmanship artform with a acyric/crystal like ball.
One of the demonstrators was quite good.
I would have bought one, but the price just seemed so out of line.
$35 for an acryic ball ? Hmmm Is that right?
The DVD was priced about what I expected which was 25, but you get a $10 discount if you purchase a ball.
So for $50 bucks you could be sphereing and cheering..
Hmmm...
It rained for quite some time at the end of the eve so we cut it short and headed home.
We'll be going again in Sep. if anyone cares to join in.
