La Feria

August 30, 2008

On Saturday we went to the Feria. It was very similar to a flea market. They sold everything you could possibly think of. They had fruits and vegetables

,

scarves, sweaters, jeans, ties, kittens, puppies, purses, shoes, boots, socks, and of course Hello Kitty.

I have noticed that Hello Kitty is universalJ.

They had a lot of underwear booths. I don't think I have ever seen so much lingerie before in my life. I bought two scarves for about ten dollars. I think they are really pretty though, one is pink and the other is orange.

The weather was great; it reminds me so much San Diego. There was a park with a seesaw and swings and a jungle gym.

I have not seen one like that in a very very long time. Jade and I got on the see-saw and it was crazy fun.

Then Jade bought some flowers they smelled amazing! For lunch we went to McDonalds. I got a burger for about $1.75 or 35 pesos; it was ok…there was a thin piece of meat and a piece of ham on top of that. The cashier was really nice and helped me order and even knew a little English. Later that night, we met with the youth from church and had pizza. The boy I sat next to was 14 and we had a VERY hard time communicating. He later dumped me for the more animated opposite side of the table LOL. Overall, everyone was incredibly friendly and patient and I think several people in the group made friends.
