We got to Borges early in the afternoon July 3rd, checked into our motel, and began the mile walk to our favorite cathedral. We did not know our stroll to Bourges' St. Etienne Cathedral would take us through the city's summer carnival. If you've ever wondered what a French carnival is like (sure you have), here are a few pix for your edification...
 |
| Worst croque monsieur ever... |
 |
| Wow, just like the Leon County fair in Tallahassee in 1967... |
 |
We found this ride fascinating...the cabin, seating eight, is at the
top; the thing does numerous 360s, relative high speed, the cabin
itself rotating upside/down, inside/out, etc. |
 |
Back at the top; sometimes it stops there, hesitates, and then
back-tracks the other way... |
 |
| Empty seats, too; or maybe they bailed out |
 |
| Never miss a glider |
 |
| Among the many other rides |
 |
| Symbolism lost on us |

We have seen Christmas festivals, but nothing like the carnival in your photos. Yes, the goat on the roof. Hmmm.
