Yesterday at the Book Fair...

... in the afternoon, there was a little music in the Mexico area
(with a guy from the Marimba Nandayapa)...



as well as some curiosities in the traditional book hunting...










Although the fair closed at 10pm, I left around 7...
my pawns refusing to cooperate any more.
