Happiness is...people watching.

I went with a couple of friends to a Renaissance Festival in Maryland yesterday.  What a truly interesting cultural experience!

There were all the entertainers to consider:

jousting knights

tightrope walkers

musicians
and people on stilts
And then there were the spectators:

pirates

guys in kilts

and orthodox Russians?!
Not to mention the countless costumed wenches with billowing bosoms (I'll spare you the pictures of those, you can thank me later!) It made for quite the interesting afternoon with a lot of follow-up conversations on the way home.

Just as God made the infinitely vast and varied worlds and creations, he made the vast and varied people to inhabit them. I'm amazed at just how different people can be and occasions like this tend to bring out the best, worst and weirdest among them! (We decided it ranks right up there with things like Comic-Con, NASCAR, Carnival.)

How did you spend your weekend?
