Day at the World's Faire

A day at the World Faire has proven to be a highly enlightening experience.  My first visit was to the Bicycle Exhibit.  Such a curious invention–around for nearly ninety years and I've never heard of it!  This would be a wondrous vehicle that could cut down commute time around the city!  Not to mention the freedom of being able to cycle around wherever one pleases; I'd buy one in an instant!  I later went to the exhibit on the lightbulb.  I had never heard of a lightbulb before, much less seen it, but I was astonished to see that such a curious object could illuminate the room with a ray of sun!  Electricity is such a curious force.  I learned that several light bulbs failed before Thomas Edison created one that would last more than forty hours–such dedication!  It is truly inspiring to see this amazing invention, for who knows what is next in the line of technology?  Afterwards, I stopped by the food exhibition, where I was torn between getting popcorn, cotton candy, and steak–how could I choose between such luxuries?  I ended up paying for a Dr. Pepper, which was delightfully satisfying.  I ended the day with a visit to the Art Nouveau exhibit.  I fell in love with the linear paintings of natural form, and the architecture was absolutely breathtaking.  I purchased a necklace of the style, for I was so captivated by the aesthetic of the alignment and cuts of the gems that the money practically leapt out of my pocketbook.  Overall, I greatly enjoyed my day at the World Faire, and I would love to return another day to discover more about the advancements of the world.
