"i came ... i saw ... i conquered"
My favourite thing is to go where I've never been. -- Diane Arbus

One of my life's goals is to see the beauty this world has to offer ... and if travelling is the only way to reach that goal, then so be it. Just give me a good destination and together with my travel buddies and my trusty camera, we'll make time for it and we'll be there...if you're as interested, come join me and see the world through my eyes .... ENJOY!!!

a step back in time

... pennsylvania rennaisance faire. PAREF, occurs 12 weekends and runs from August to October at Mount Hope Estate and Winery in Manheim, Pennsylvania.  

     located an hour away from where we are, we headed to see knights, pirates, kings, queens and everything rennaisance. Restrooms were labeled milady and milord. people were in costumes and spoke with that "english" accent. we watched actual glass being blown into nice, various shapes. i had my fill of celtic rings. we watched a jousting tournament, we failed to play chess in their BIG chessboard (this is where you are the actual game pieces).

   we experienced our very first elephant ride, had our first Turkey leg, watched a very entertaining acrobat show (although i won't say the acrobats in our regular "perya" aren't as good); we saw stuff from the movie Pirates of the Carribean, there was a big, red pirate ship with pirates of course ... ahoy matey!!  and watched the Queen make her royal walk round the estate grounds.

the visit will take about a little over half a day. lots of food and beer, lots of shows to watch, with stores and items that are very interesting. if you are into these things, you would surely enjoy, it's like stepping back in time and being in a whole new world.
