The Feria

The feria or fair is in Las Vegas right now.  Thats Las Vegas, Honduras not Nevada.  I'd been wanting to go since it isnt often that something different happens.  It certainly isnt the Texas State Fair but it was fun.

 First of all, it was a good opportunity for some street food.  Here is a picture of the food section of the fair.

We had roasted corn with lime and butter which was tasty even though the corn here is not the sweet corn that we are used to in the states.  It tasted more like popcorn but was still delicious.  We also had some really tasty baleadas which are probably the most Honduran food that there is.  Baleadas are large flour tortillas (much different than the mexican flour tortillas that we are used to) with scrambled egg, refried beans and a little local cheese.  The ones we had also had some chorizo and hot sauce.  They are my favorite food here.  Here is a picture of one that I stole off the internet.

Then we wandered around for a while.  I'd really wanted to get a video of the ferris wheel because the one down here runs really fast.  There was no way that I was getting on any of the rides.

Rob shot the BB gun at the little army guys and won us a bunch of stuff.  Some of it will actually come in handy in our new apartment that we will be moving into tomorrow.
