Sagra Season





The much anticipated summer sagra season in Italy is upon us. It began for us with a kick-off in our little town, Quinto, and will keep the Pasho family entertained through the month of September. A sagra is an outdoor fair and village feast where families of all shapes and sizes gather for a weekend of good food, great fun, and all the local flavor each little town can muster. There are live bands and food tents where all sorts of traditional (and occasionally questionable) delicacies are served followed by a variety of rides and amusement park themed activities for children. The serious amount of money lost to tokens is recovered in happy faces and sticky fingers, and the memories made are always worth it. Good thing the food is cheap. Here is a sampling of this week's fun.

That Cal certainly has the moves hasn't he?? All those dance sessions before bedtime are sure paying off! :)

And I also had to chuckle at Max behind the wheel - He's definitely got the left turns down - Does this mean race cars are in his future??!! :)

PS: That picture of Cal coming down the slide looks just like another little boy I used to know. . .

Cal definitely has moves and he's not afraid to use them. Max figured out the bumper cars on his 2nd ride and gave Cal and various Italian children several cases of whiplash. Unfortunately, it wouldn't let me post the video.

THANKS, Carrie! I wish I was better about posting more often. Knowing I have a few readers keeps me motivated, though!
