Orange County Fairground.. St.Pats Day

Costa Mesa Travel Blog › entry 3 of 7 › view all entries

My very first trip both alone and to Cali. Went to visit a good friend for a week.

Orange County Fairground.. St.Pats Day

Orange County Fairground.. Cars from MotorCars Direct

It was St. Patricks Day, which btw we don't celebrate in Norway. Not to my knowledge anyway. Chris said I should head over at Orange County Fairground, because it was a huge market there with a lot of different stuff. The company he works for, also had some of their cars on display, and for people to test drive and/or buy. He was meant to work there this day, but was called into the showroom instead. Bummer...

Anyway; As I got dressed I put on this military green top. Thinking nothing of it, other then I like it. :D
I meant to walk over to the Fairground, but thought I was lost ( turned out I wasn't..hahaha), turned back home and called a cab. Ok.. it was quite a distant, so it was justified.. lol. I went to one entrance, and as I was going to pay the fee, the lady said I could go in for free, since I was wearing green. Awww.... of course.. it's St. Paddys Day... yay.. haha.  Nice start to the day.. :o)

Chris sure was right when he said it was huge. It was indeed. Think I could have gotten lost with a little less sense of directions. And they had "everything". Junkfood stands ( of course), shoestands, lots of different clothing stands, make-up/hair product stands, food stands, furniture and I could go on and on.... And not having anything like this back home, I was intrigued and fascinated. I walked around that place for hours and hours. Bought me something to eat and lots of water. It was a hot day.. well, for me anyway. Being in March, I don't think the "natives" thought so. HAHAHA....

I found the cars from Motorcars Direct, Chris' company. Bare in mind this was the first time I saw what kind of cars he deals with. WOOOOOOW... Hummers, Porsches, BMW's, Mercedes and so on.. you get my drift, right? Being a car lover, I could have spent a day just test driving every single one of them. BUT.. I don't know HOW to drive in Cali, and I wouldn't have dared to try any of them cars.. what if something happend? Oh no, but I could look. :D

Oh well.. I had to head back at some point, so I called it the day and this time I did walk. Funny actually.. you don't see many people WALKING in  Cali... they gotto be the laziest people on the planet earth. If it's 5 mins walk to their destination, they will for sure use the car. Damn... I couldn't believe it...

One question for you guys... who of you know what a sigalert and a California Roll are? Yes, I know... hahahaha
