We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
So I have a bunch of funny pics that I've been meaning to post... so I thought I'd do so today :) This pic below cracks me up... right above this McDonalds is "The Wellness Store" - it cracks me up every time I see it :)
In the pic below you can see the eggs that we normally buy... here there are pretty much two types of eggs you can buy... the cheap ones that most people buy (and you tell them how many you want and they put them in a plastic bag for you - so you have to be careful) and these eggs... we actually like the taste of these better and the stamp on them says "guaranteed against bird flu" so we figured they were good eggs to pick.... But what cracks me up is that on the box of eggs it says that they are "Near Organic"... Not sure what that means - I thought things were either organic or not... Maybe not, but it still makes me laugh :)
We got this tomato the other day... it's kinda cute :)
I've been meaning to post this pic (below) for a while - I like how bathroom signs are different in different countries. My friend Deanna wrote a post recently about her trip to Italy and their bathroom door signs had bows on them (on the head for girls and neck for boys)... the ones here are fun too :) The girls on this sign wears a Sari :)
You may not think this pic below is funny... but to me, there's just something funny about a horse carrying a cart full of wheels... ok, so I think it's funny :)
So, last, but not least.... this guy has quite the spare tire :) haha!
Comments
when my sister (who doesn't speak german) was in germany, she commented that Damen (whch means "ladies") sure looks a lot like it would mean da MEN. And Herren (which means "gentlemen") has a HER in it. Very misleading, in her book. I think all over the world, women should wear saris on toilet signs. It would prevent a lot of confusion!
You wrote me some questions on a comment on my blog, and I'd be happy to dialog with you about it but in order to be more open, we're gonna have to pull it back to e-mail. Feel free to e-mail me and we'll get the conversation rolling. makinghome@pobox.com
