A Visitor Among Us.


This week we have a visitor. Eliza's friend has come to visit us from Illinois. She arrived last weekend and has spent the last week being shuttled from one end of the state to the other. They have spent time at the beach, the county fair, swimming and getting lost on various trips. We spent yesterday at the county fair. It was alot of fun. We were all able to do something that we wanted. We looked at exhibits, the girls cruised the fun zone and we all had some of the tasty food of the fair. It turned out to be a really nice trip and luckily it cooled off in the evening with a nice breeze but not too cold. It has been fun having Liza's friend here. We have introduced her to several of the California specific foods. Things like, Del Taco, In-N-Out and See's Candy. So far she has enjoyed all of it. I think while we were living away from here that was what came up often was the differences in food. The fair was fun but the food was better.

Oh, I must add that the theme for the fair was "Say Cheese". There seemed to be lots of suggestions toward cheese but oddly enough there was no cheese to be found other than the cheese on a stick offered at the Hotdog On A Stick stand. I just want to say, that is so wrong!!
