And it was. We saw a jousting tournament, a forge where a guy was making swords, and all sorts of folk in fancy costumes. People get confused, though. At first I thought people were just confusing Renaissance with Lord of the Rings and wearing elf ears and such. But no, apparently people just dress in costume. There are lots of devil's horns and vampire teeth, some Harry Potter and some Dr. Who, which was really out of place. I think this is because geeks who dress in Renaissance clothing don't see the distinction in any of these fantasy worlds, but whatever.
Anyway, it was fun. Even though Nicholas asked us, halfway through the day, if we were ever going to get to see King Richard. I knew it would be fun, so I brought the camera, even though I wouldn't be able to see what I was taking pictures of.
Nathan had a hard time falling asleep that night. He kept coming down the stairs, claming he was frightened. He said it was because of "The Doctor from King Richard's" by which he ment the men in costume dragging a cart with two body-shaped, sheet-wrapped bundles. They were shouting about how they were the "doctors! doctors!" and one of them had one of those masks with the long beaky noses... And of course they talked to Nathan, probably because he was staring at them.
But then again, it could have been that dragon sculpture on that tree. It was just there, a dragon head, attached to a tree. Nate likes dragons, so Steve lifted him so he could touch it. He didn't seem scared, did he?
