Royal Adelaide Show

It's finally starting to feel like spring! The weather is slowly warming up, and the sun is out a lot more.

Today, Al and I had to run some errands. While driving around, we passed the Penfolds Winery. I've never seen the Penfolds in Adelaide before. The main one is in the Barossa Valley, and we went there when my parents were in town in March. However, this beautiful winery is only 10 minutes away from our apartment. I can't believe I've never seen it!

I didn't take that many pictures. Al drove around slowly, but he didn't stop so that I could get out of the car. There are so many mansions around it, and the hills are right behind it. I'll get more pictures another time!

As I promised, here is my recap of the Royal Adelaide Show. For you Americans, think of it like a county or state fair. Here, the Royal Adelaide Show is in the city. Some of it is like a carnival. There is more fried and greasy food than you can possibly imagine. There are carnival rides. You will also find dozens of different animal judging contests, showbags filled to the brim with chocolates, free food and wine sampling, fashion parades, car displays and stunt shows, clothing markets, baby farm animals and so on. There is a lot there! People come from all over South Australia.

Most of my pictures are from 2009. The one exception is the last video, which is from this year. You must watch it!

Time to get ready for another week. It's back to work tomorrow! G'nite!!

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
