Strawberry Fair

Cambridge Saturday Market and Strawberry Fair

I really wanted to check out the Saturday street market in Cambridge a couple weekends ago so Tyler and I FINALLY decided to get out of the house on a Saturday afternoon and go. Cambridge is about a 30-45 minute drive from our house depending on traffic. We weren't even sure where the market was in the town but we decided to park in the mall's parking garage and walk until we came across it. *Of course you'd think there would be signs everywhere for it*- NOPE!

We walked around until we came to a fork in the road. The foot traffic was split 50/50 so we took a random guess and went right. We came across an open field with what looked like a carnival! This carnival was called the "Strawberry Fair" and it happens once a year in Cambridge. The Strawberry Fair (http://www.strawberry-fair.org.uk/) is a "visual and musical extravaganza". There was no admissions fee to boot! We walked in with no expectations and what we found was quite interesting. There was everything from every day looking people with their small children, to hippies smoking joints (literally- the whole place smelled of marijiuana), to well-educated college students. 

This was a very strange tasting version of an elephant ear...dough covered in cinnamon and sugar. We didn't enjoy it very much.

Look at those neon dreads!

Delicious Jamaican Jerk chicken we had for lunch!

All in all, we had a fun & interesting day :)
