My prediction was correct. There were a lot of people in Raleigh yesterday. The fair was packed. Sometimes the crowd got so large all movement would just stop in a human traffic jam. Amy and I rode the Zambala (or something like that), the large Farris Wheel, the Orbiter, and the best ride I’ve ever been on – The Fire Ball. Some young girl told Amy she could just close her eyes if she got too scared. I want to go back and ride it again. The best part was that I got to go do something with fun with Amy by ourselves. I”m glad we didn’t do a group outing.
There must have been 3000 pair of overalls in attendance. Amy had a good point: if you’re not feeling good about yourself, go to the fair. In general the American public scares me. Most people claim to go for the food – and it shows.
