Cabot Goes to a Medieval Festival

Cabot had a great time visiting the annual Medieval Festival held at the Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park, New York in September 2012. This is their 28th year!




  


 Cabot met all kinds of exotic looking people!










There were banners and sword makers…





and more exotic people!

  




There was an odd looking dragon that kind of looked like a rat...


  


There were beautiful horses...


  




and a very nice view across the Hudson River to New Jersey.




The Cloisters Museum if the Medieval Art branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It contains parts of many real medieval buildings, brought here and rebuilt.




In the parking lot they were performing scenes from Macbeth.





There were knights on horseback and jousting.

  



At the end of the day, Cabot met a king and his lady.














But the best part of the day was when Cabot met Umber, a beautiful REAL rat!
