Part 2
Hi Mommy,
after we enjoyed our lunch, we went to look at the many kinds of entertainment offered. They sure gave the people "bread and circuses" - oh, sorry, that were the Romans 
, but it was also true for this festival.
First, there were some jugglers and jesters
and then, there was jousting among the noble knights who had come from far away to impress the people
Oooh, look at this nasty and dangerous knight!!! 
But he sure got his butt kicked 
Wow! Now we learned what they meant by "fire and sword"!
Wow!!!
Now we wanted to be knights, too.
And Anja was glad to oblige
After all this excitement, we needed a little rest, so we wandered around the festival ground looking at all the beautiful wares that the merchants offered.
honey and mead
wool
(remember the spindles from the Hessenpark? Here they were, not only on pictures!)
little baby shoes
and all kinds of nice things to eat and drink, to dress up in, to defend yourself, and to make your home look nice
They even had some real animals - look at the horns on these sheep!
Now, Anja laid down her cloak on the meadow, and we all took a little rest - before it was time to PARTY!!!!
Hugs
Terry
