We went to the Renaissance Festival (it was kids get in free weekend).

The shows were fun; there was an interesting rendition of Beowulf in a mud pit, and a comedy juggler that was very entertaining. It was good.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Isn't that mud-play rendition of Beowulf a riot? I went to the festival in 1993 with a friend and it was a nice crisp and cool September day. Beautiful day in fact. That mud play made me laugh for days, and I also saw their version of Beowulf (they have several different stories in their repertoire). Was the sword swallower still performing? Amazing what someone can do with a real sword, with a real blade.
