A trip to Vic

This past weekend, we attended the Medieval fair in the town of Vic.  Vic is about 1 hour north of Barcelona.  Bob's co-workers highly recommended going as it is apparently the best Medieval fair around.  So we set out on Saturday afternoon and spent a good 3 hours walking around the fair.  There was definitely a lot going on.  I was impressed that all the venders as well as performers were dressed in Medieval costumes.  There was plenty of food to sample and activities for the kids.  It was pretty crowed though, and in 3 hours, we had only seen about half of the fair.  I guess it means we need to go back again next year :)

It's okay to sell swords, bows and arrows to kids as long as it's a Medieval Fair.
