So I went into town today to finish up with my library books and get some money before my trip, and when I got off at Prado bus stop across the street there was a renaissance fair! I've never been to one of these, so I was really excited. I went in for a look but I knew I had to get my stuff done, so I went to the library and spent an hour photocopying stuff, then I returned my book and headed back to the bus stop to go home and get my camera. Camera in hand, I went back to Prado and ate a kebab and a very difficult Coca-Cola from the "Medieval Mercado". I then walked around and took some pictures. It was lots of fun! The first thing I noticed was the birds. I was really excited to be so close to them! They were beautiful. They even had a carousel that was really cool,  I didn't realize they were that old! They also had some torture devices and even a boat! (Cost 2 Euro to ride, it was for kids but it was cute.) They also had donkey rides for the kids, and some toy swords and axes and armor as well. Of course they had the flower crowns, but I didn't buy one. They had some dresses too, but since I already own one I didn't think it necessary. I am back in the apartment now having decided that I really should get to packing, and maybe a nap, before my bus ride to Madrid tonight, but I was so excited about the market I just had to write about it!
