More Picts of Mom & Dad's Stay





The beginning of the Medieval Faire in Torres Novas.  This was the first "display" we came across.  Three real camels.









This is the booth that was making the pork steak sandwiches.  The one where people were reaching over our heads and grabbing sandwiches.  Funny.  The man is putting the dough, with the meat in them, in the big oven.  He heats the oven with wood inside and a blow torch.  As soon as the wood burns down and the oven is extremely hot he pushes the wood to the back and adds the sandwiches.








They work very hard kneading the dough and forming the sandwiches.  Laborious work - they must have very strong arms.












I love to "people watch" and the Medieval Faire was a great place to do it.












See what I mean?















Lots of "costumed" people.  Or were they?













Many fun displays to watch.















This guy was bizarre!!  Put a coin in his hand and he comes "alive". 














Puppeteer















Jugglers














Belly Dancers














She's inspired me to diet once again!!














Medieval musicians - so cool.













This area was roped off - each pedestal had a different bird on it - eagles, vultures, and owls.















Tanner so wanted to spear one with his souvenir arrow gun grandpa bought him.











Up close & personal with the animals.















Waiting for some road kill...













More street performers















Many displays














Medieval times iron worker















This man was "cutting" wood with an extremely hot wire - can you see the smoke coming off of it?














How to "smoke" a salmon.















Lots of people watching the "parade"
















Don't they fit right in?













I think Tanner could take him













Wench's for sale














Rick's wench - No, that is not me!!!
















Wenches in the dungeon














The punishment for not being "kind" to the wenches.












Exiting the dungeon - scary creatures - NOT mom and dad - the other ones!!
