About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

The bridge connecting the past and the present...

I don't think any of the people of the present time would like to return back to the past and live there. I mean jump back something like five hundred years... But... wouldn't it be nice to peek through the time and spend a day there. A day in the medieval town... even better... a day at a medieval fair... Wanna try? ;)

 
And, believe it or not, it is not that impossible. All you need to do is to visit the Renaissance Festival that happens every year in Colorado. You just pass the entry gates and find yourself surrounded with the past...






So we did about 10 years ago. Went there and just walked all day looking at the people wearing fancy clothes, listening to the medieval music performed by enthusiasts, drank some cider and had some badly grilled meat for our lunch... right they still didn't have a good grills back there ;)












So join us! Watch it!








When we were tired of walking we stopped and enjoyed some entertainment... Exotic belly dance for example...









Can you hold a sabre on your head? I can help you, the girl said... And he was able to hold it for almost 15 seconds ;)




Unlike him the girl danced with the sabre on her head! Can you???


What about two? One on your head and the second sitting still on your belly? She had no troubles doing that and was not only moving around, but moving really fast. Amazing!









We felt much better and walked a bit more... We wanted to see the main even of the day though, so we circled around until we found some pirates. Friendly and funny kind ;)
