On Wednesday night after our WGM prayer meeting we went to Santa Cruz's Fair for the night. It's huge and has it's own complex just for this week alone. There are many buildings and all the streets are cobble stone. They keep the place up very nicely and the streets were far cleaner than any other street in Santa Cruz. There are booths from many other countries and then also businesses set up booths. There are restaurants and car lots, just about anything you can imagine is inside the fair. sparkly
We went to see the animals and found them very interesting......to show the bulls they put glitter all over them! We thought that was just the funniest thing that these gigantic bulls were soaked in glitter! Some of the bulls were enormous. One of heaviest weighed 1205 kilos which is 2651 pounds! It was fun. There was a baby pony that was absolutely adorable. I bought a ring that has the Bolivianita stone in it. The bolivianita is a mix between an amythyst and another kind of gem that is yellow. The two colors sort of mix together and it's very unique. The booths hire models to showcase their company or product and the models dress up formally without wearing very much clothing--very immodest. It was a late night and we still didn't see most of the fair.
