Cincy Latino

Last year we stumbled upon Cincy Latino by mistake, just looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon that would keep Gabi entertained for a few hours by being out of the house (she's a social butterfly just like her mami). We discovered they had the most wonderful arepas venezolanas and we said "for sure we gotta come back next year".

This year we also happened on the festival by chance, since a GRINGO (no less!) friend of ours from work told us a mere couple of days before the event (where do I live that I never see or hear any advertisement about this?).

Anyway, my sister was coming from Indy so we decide to give it a try, only being able to think about those wonderful arepas from last year. Unfortunately the arepa stand wasn't there this year, but they did have a wonderful Puerto Rican food stand, which of course we enjoyed even more! However, we later found out these guys are from Miami so there's nowhere for us to find them here (why they came from Miami to Cincinnati for a latino festival is beyond me...). We did go right after lunch time, which meant that just like last year, we could only stay for a little while because it was too damn hot. Maybe next year we'll learn our lesson and go later on in the day. Gabi did enjoy a little bit of dancing with the peruvian "maracas" she forced us to buy her. :)
