Local folks are absolutely daffy about the food at the fair - I'll pass. One year I tried to go native and ate a corn dog, the curly fries, etc. It didn't work out and I found I couldn't hold them down if you catch my drift. That was the first and last corn dog in my life.

Struck up a lengthy and animated chat with this guy -- wish I remembered his name! -- as both of us enjoyed several too many pints of stout at a neighborhood pub in Kensington, west London.

It is locals like him that make travel the wanderlust that it is to me. Cheers to him, three years later!
