Medieval times

Medieval Times! For those of you who have not you been, u definitely need to go. Today was my first experience and I have to say it was very fascinating. I knew that it was all about knights jousting, but it is so much more than that, all of the ceremonies and random events that occur will have you screaming in your seats, literally. First off you walk into a room where they tell you what knight you will be rooting for. Options are black, white, red, green, and yellow and red, ( I was on the red side) you get your crown according to what color Knight you will be rooting for, then you go into the actual theater, once you step in you forget that you are living in 2007. There is a ceremonial greeting for the king and the princess for which the knights are fighting for. The King announces the feast, and as you turn around wenches put a plate of food in front of you, If you were not concentrating on the king you would realize all of the stomping occurring behind you, but you are so involved in what is going on that you begin to lose yourself in the surroundings. Wenches come around to serve you a full out medieval dinner which consists of roasted chicken, roasted potatoes, vegetable soup, and garlic bread which is all eaten by hand, there are absolutely no utensil the only thing you get is a napkin. After the feast you get to watch your Knight fight for the princess's affection. There is a jousting battle which I have to say is the funnest to watch, and a sword fight. It truly is one of the funnest experiences to have. It is a magical two hours to pretend you are living in "Medieval Times"
