Feria de Leon

[peddler665]

Attended the state fair today much to this Ole Iowa Farm Boy's delight.
While hardly a duplicate of our Iowa's State Fair there is enough similarities to compare.
That's right down to the Cotton Candy & Taffy Apples. Less agricultural/livestock on display. But enough with the only disappointment being although a large banner proclaimed Porcinos, but alas not a pig to be found. As a teenage Master swine herdsman that was a downer. LOL
However the retail exhibits are far Superior to anything I have seen before especially the Leather area.
Lots of schoolkids but not crowded as I went early paying my 11 peso admission.
Cabbie first charged me 70 peso for the short ride from the bus station. When I scowled he lowered it to 60 which I paid without comment.
Walked back & when I bought my return bus ticket at the Primera booth the young gal looked at me charging me the senior half price fair even though while certainly old enough as a non resident I do not believe I qualify. Anyway made up for the cab.
A most delightful day!
PS Taxi fare from Presa to Central Autobus here in Guanajuato seems to have raised to 40 pesos. Still a good buy.
