Again this year we took the train to the State Fair. The train left and arrived on time and the weather was nice for all the walking we did, over 10 miles by my pedometer. Fair food is expensive and unhealthy but good. The side shows and exhibits are what draw my interests. I'm not much for the rides and games.
The train was a few minutes late leaving for home and was delayed by another train needing the tracks we were on so we were an hour late getting back to Greensboro. Still the trip back was more organized and pleasant than the one to the fair.
On the way there I got stuck behind a man that had a disability, to be politically correct. He talked loud and slow and repeated everything he said until he received a response and he never shut up the entire trip. It was irritating at first then becoming nerve grating the longer it went on.
We were glad to get back home, tired and irritated but we have our souvenirs and memories. The bad times will fade and we will be left with the romanticized version of the train ride through the countryside, the smell of the foods, the sights and sounds of people having a good time, and the pure enjoyment of spending a day with the one you love.
