Gastronomy Fair

Today was another nice warm sunny day.  It's been so nice to have those kinds of days again lately.  So, I put on a load of clothes to wash, got them hung on the line and when I came back inside, we noticed our water had been cut off.  Whew!  Got that load of clothes washed just in time!
Our plan today was to go to a Gastronomy Fair that was being held in Alicante and we figured we'd wait until the clothes were dry and brought in before going.  Well, with the water being shut off (for who knows what reason) we decided to have a quick non-messy breakfast and go right after that.
That turned out to be a good decision because we got there just a little before the event was open to the public so we got a good parking spot and were able to be there before the massive crowds hit.  Once they let us inside, we walked around almost the whole event center trying to decide which restaurant booths we wanted to stop at to try the tapas that were being offered.  Each tapa cost between 2 and 3 dollars each, and a glass of wine or beer cost about 2 dollars.  So, we had fun walking around and then seeing something we liked and stopping there to taste it.

Should have taken a picture WHILE we were eating, but anyway, we ate at this place, at the little round table to the side of me.

A Swiss cheese booth!

They were having a cooking competition here.

 It was all very good, so good that we wished we could stay and try others but we didn't want to overeat and overspend.  So, after a while, we reluctantly left and that's when we realized how crowded it had gotten.  As we walked back to our car, we saw that the line to get in was LONG and when we got out to the parking lot, it had become a mess of cars.  Certainly not like when we arrived and our car was just one of a few there.
Anyway, it was a fun event and we're glad we went - and that we went early!
By the way, when we got back home, the water was back on.  Yay!
