Perth Royal Show 2014 : Highs and Lows
As an American, put all the best State Fairs together and you’ve got the Perth Royal Show. Now this year, I didn’t want to do to John what I did last year, and that was make him go twice….but as we pulled up to the parking lot, I realized that I had left the battery to my camera on the charger at home. This was a real low moment to start our day. This also led to two visits to the Perth Royal show. Again. So this and the next few blog posts will be a combined synopsis of our two days at the show. 
In the car, looking at the long day of events we want to go to. So much going on at once at the show, it’s good to have a plan.
Always good food at the show.
Showbags are a big deal at the Show. Last year I couldn’t believe how much people spent and piled up the show bags in literal shopping carts. But this year, I joined them. We decided on the Tim Tam show bag. I felt very Australian.
So this year, as our ‘do something different’ was to ride the chair lift, a high moment, if you will.
Don’t let this smile John captured fool you. It was about then I remembered I am scared to death of heights, and made worse when there is nothing below my feet!
It’s OK, John knows how to distract me.
I tried to relax and enjoy the view, which is why, after all, we took the ride in the first place.
Why not a view of the cows below?
Here I am, relieved to back both feet back on solid ground!
