We are attending the festival of St Michael in this little town
Walked among thousands of town dwellers in peace
Very little Police presence an we stood on awe as no drinkers, drunkards and no violence
People are dressed up and very well behaved. Old people woman with kids all walking and talking
It is so strange to Our Country SA where either a massive Police or Security operation is on place
Here at the festival I saw nothing
The big procession is all about bringing the Statue of St Michael up from the cathedral on the Square to the little church right opposite our hotel
We follow from street level and on top from the Balcony wow !! what a view we are just lucky to booked at the right hotel
We had a day of rest after visiting a wine farm saw the usual vineyards processing coop and a huge logistical warehouse . Italy wine market are all gunning for the Japanese wine drinker
Firstly they drink a large quantity and have a undeveloped taste.
We had a lovely pasta at a small off the street restaurant. I will never in my life walk into such a dark alley off the main street in my life
But what happened our guests took us for a pasta to this liitle restaurant just up that dark alley and here tucked inn between several buildings is this little jewel restaurant serving the most knockout pasta with sauces
The wine was excellent the company very good We are struggling to understand Italian but after three days we start to understand them
It is amazing how quickly I pick up words and sounds
But I must say they are very eager to speak some English
