It was another early morning bus for us on February 6th. When we got to our connecting city we rushed to the other bus station where we caught a bus heading to the border just in time. We were not able to sit together but I was just glad we didn39t have to wait hours for a bus. We did however not have time for a meal and just got a drink and bag of chips. Once the bus started to clear out I mo

We spent a couple of days here and walked up to the statue of virgin Mary on the hill which ga

Another beautiful day in Brimfield....weather wise anyway. Today is stroller day. The weekend brings out the families their kids. Most of them just use it as a walk in the park but at least it gets the kids out. This has been a tough show for us for whatever reason. Everyone wants something for nothing.
