Placeholder for Monday

I spent Sunday in Mount Hope with Daniel, Paul, Cheryl, and Paul's parents at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, where we had gorgeous albeit hot weather and got to see pretty much everything we had intended: Don Juan and Miguel's shows, the falconer, the afternoon and evening jousts, lots of minstrels, and the very hot young new King Henry VIII. I have also obtained a big plastic sword with a straw that can carry lots of water, which is the most awesome Renfaire souvenir ever! On Labor Day, we are going to the Maryland Renaissance Festival, so here are a couple of pics (including Miguel and Pete the Pickle) -- more soon. Happy September!
