Renaissance Faire

We met our good friends Diane and Larry in Monrovia, California on Saturday, April 26 to attend the Renaissance Faire. Bob and I had never been to such an event and had no idea what to expect. We checked into the Doubletree Hotel, snatched our cookies (yum), and hopped on the shuttle for the Faire. Our room rate included the tickets to the faire, the shuttle ride to and from, and of course, the warm chocolate chip cookies! The Faire was much larger than I had anticipated and there were many, many people in costume. I had no idea that the visitors to the faire would come in costume. Some were really beautiful and others made no sense whatsoever - like the guys dressed in their togas. I didn't take their picture! There was a jousting tournament with horns, drums, a Queen, knights on horseback and real live wenches!

And here are some other photos taken throughout the day. And when I think about it I'm still amazed at all the beautiful costumes and those push-up bras!!!!!
