Today's Adventures

We went up to the Champaign County Fair today.

For lunch we had a gator po'boy.  I am quite fond of alligator, and this was excellent -- little nuggets fried with spices.  It tastes nothing like chicken to me, but very much like frog, which I also like.  We also had a funnel cake, a shakeup, and later on some deep-fried oreos.

There's not a lot of fair stuff there -- one exhibit barn and some farm animals -- but they did have a petting zoo with camels.  The rides weren't running, but at least all the food vendors were open.

A company that runs escape rooms had set up one, so Doug wanted to try that, and I tagged along.  It was kind of interesting, although not the kind of thing I'd do of my own accord.  I was intrigued to note that it required both visual and logical-mathematical thinking.  That got me wondering if anyone is doing escape rooms based on other types  of intelligence.  Maybe not here, but probably in Terramagne.

An escape room sounds as though it would be exactly what my Hubby would love. Like you, I have to say it wouldn't exactly be my cup of tea.
BTW--I'd never heard of this before you mentioned it.
