Vendors love it when you try on their stuff, take cheesy tourist photos, and then leave without buying anything.
Home of the “Monkey Nut”. Now I know.
Take a closer look at Monroe. I think the whole “Big Dog” diner thing is a compensation. 😉
Ignore the fact the vegetables are battered and deep fried. They’re endorsed by “Dr Vegetable” on this cart.
When taking a picture of a sign that says “World’s Largest Boar” with an arrow on it, watch where your shadow falls in the picture.
At fairs, anything can be fun. I look way too excited to see a heat-exhausted boar the size of a beached whale. PETA would be so proud.
American preferences run as follows: “Deep Fried”, then “Chocolate Covered”, and then “Healthy Fruit”. By the way, deep fried chocolate covered strawberries are YUMMY. 😉
Elephant ears still rule!
Rustled up some good times!
