La Ducasse

Ducasse is a Ch'ti word that means a small, crappy carnival that stays in town for two days. Five year-olds ooh and ah over it, though because it consists of a bumpercar arena, two carousels, and a cotton-candy machine. I went with Émilie this afternoon and we rode the bumper cars for five rounds. The first time was a freebie because we didn't know we were supposed to insert our ticket into the car itself, and the guy came over and did it for us. The second time our car broke down half way through, so the same guy gave us an extra token. Then, we still had three tokens left that we couldn't use on any of the other machines. I feel like such an old person if I complain about my body hurting...but I did have fun nevertheless!
