Ah, pyrates. What fun to be back at the Maryland Ren Fest, and all the more so as it was the weekend of the pirate invasion. The grounds are as beautiful as ever. Although I had familial obligations and was unable to attend, I watched the pyrate pub sing for a bit as I passed. I saw many many pyrates gathered and singing in unison, a group playing Liar's Dice, and many more just enjoyng the company of other pyrates. What an enjoyable pyrate gathering it looked to be. When we get home to PA I will post some pictures of myself and the sister of my heart in our pyrate finest. Yar!
