Saturday at Frankfurt is always a slow day because many people have left and everyone is tired.  It is also the day when the general public is allowed into the Fair which means that it is often very crowded and today was no exception.  I spent some time wandering in the foreign halls and was completely overwhelmed in the Turkish section.  This year the Fair celebrated the literature of Turkey so there were many people visiting from the local Turkish community!  Plus outside the official halls there was a huge flea market and lots of people dressed up in fancy dress, either in honor of Halloween or because they had chosen characters from literature.  I dropped into to see Colleen at her stand and on our way out we visited the Australian booth.  Then we went for a walk through the streets and ended up having a coffee in a neighborhood café, near her hotel.  It was a lovely afternoon.  The sun was shining and everyone seemed happy to be outside.  And I am happy that the Fair has ended and I can come home.
