Noche en la Feria

1:01 Last night we went to the yearly April Fair, which is a big deal all over Spain. In Sevilla, an average sized city for most part of the year, the population more than doubles during the week of the Feria.
In Barcelona things are somewhat smaller in scale, but definitely interesting. The panoramic wheel in the picture is just one of the many attractions, alongside stands and booths with all kinds of games and assorted creative ways to get you to part with 3 or 5 euros in order to win something you will never buy in a store for half the price. But it's all fun.
Anyway, back to the wheel. We went on it and soon regretted it. This is no Cedar Point, nor Disneyland or any other amusement park. These things are here today and gone in a week. As sure as I am that things are done properly and safely, it reminded me a lot of the first scene of Final Destination...

5:12 Just back from a birthday party. The vegetarian options were limited but tasty. The best was the cake! Check it out...
