Glen. I really did enjoy myself. The only problem for my wife and myself was the high temperatures and high humidity. Both of us have health problems and that combination hits us very hard. But we drank lots of water. Myself interspacing it with a few Guinesses and Harps.(Only one of each per day). Even with the hydration, we were exhausted at the end of the first day. The next day we employed a different Strategy. We went to the main tent stage and waited for the bands and performers we wished to see to rotate to our location. That worked out much better. There were serveral who didn't make out as well as we did, though. Several people were transported to local emergency rooms, suffering from heat exhaustion.
