Passing of the seasons? Yes, yet another sign that a full year has passed: the feast of San Fortunato crept up on us, and we were so pleased that we didn't have to skip it as we did last year. It was definitely a celebration. Smaller than in past years, the organizers also decided to spread it over two weekends and include a few more activities during the week. The day itself is actually a Thursday, so it made sense.
The first weekend consisted of an intra-city archery mini-tournament/exhibition, a market, flag wavers, costumed procession, banquet, dancers, and more! We ended up spending most of our time outside, and did our best to encourage vendors to participate in future years.
We were delighted to stock up on cheese, a half-cheek bacon to hang on our rack, wines, salami, and a few sweets. Add to that a horn, wallet, and some other sundries, and we no longer have 2 pennies to rub together.
On the other hand, our bellies are full!
Love,
Alexandra
