Hello again!
Well, I’m fresh out of new news about our area of interest in Bulgarian real estate.
I’ll tell you a little about what’s going on at home to give you an insight into how I works in other places…
This week is the week of the Strawberry Festival in the little village of San Biagio della Valle in Umbria (Italy), near Perugia. Why is it so interesting? Well, there are a couple of reasons. The most interesting thing (I think) is that just about every town and village in Italy has at least one Sagra per year, if not more. There was one that just finished down the road at another village last week – this one was cherries. There is one at another village for Nutella! Don’t know what Nutella is? It’s like peanut butter, except it’s made from hazel nuts and chocolate. Those are the unusual ones. The more common ones are things like wild pig, goat, cheese of one kind or another, sausage, etc.
What’s the purpose of these things? Beats me! I suppose that originally they were designed to push the best local products (but Nutella?), but that seems to have gotten lost over the years. I suppose that now it’s just another excuse to have a party! But why not?
Our Sagra della Fragola has been rained out the past two nights (it runs 11 nights, so two weekends included). A blessing in disguise? Well, it’s quieter. Sleep comes easier when the live band is not screaming in your ear until midnight every night. On the other hand, the lost sales cannot be recuperated, I expect.
If I remember, I’ll post a picture of the flyer and the web address as well (how’s your Italian? see the website at www.sagradellafragola.it ).
I guess that’s all for now,
Ciao…
