Getting out of the car among the buildings and people had an invigorating effect on me. It was different from the elegant solitude Aldus's mansion provided, and I enjoyed the change.
The fair was on the cobblestone street that was blocked for motorized traffic.
Strings with small triangle-shaped colorful flags were stretching high between buildings and lampposts, giving it a festive vibe. The vendors had their stalls set up on both sides of the street, leaving in the middle enough space for three (or maybe four) people to walk side-by-side without touching each other.
There were a lot of people and the clamor mixed with laughter, lifting up my mood instantly.
While checking the merchandise offered, I could see anything from food to shoes and jewelry. They also had games for kids and grownups and upbeat music filled the space.
