Photo Friday – Central American Local Fairs

X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

Growing up in the suburbs isn’t much different than living in a small town in a Central American country. We all get excited for the little things that come our way.

For weeks on end my son and I have passed a little park where they were setting up a local fair. Even though there was like 6 kiddy rides, it took the workers 3 weeks to get it up and running. So when they were finally done, the excitement in my son was hard to contain and we just had to take him.

Funnily enough, we seemed to be the only ones excited about this. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon to have the place to ourselves. It was so empty that the workers simply couldn’t be bothered with us and stood around smoking cigarettes looking completely bored. Thank god my son is too young to understand this. But I had to come over and be like, “Hello, you took my money, so that means you’re open!”

Not that this prompted them to run over and assist us, but at least they did the honors of turning the ON switch. Yet it only took them like 15 minutes to turn it off. Do you want to go round and round for 15 minutes?
