Don and Chris working on the crossword/Suzuki, while we are "stuck" in the small town waiting for the 4.30pm procession to start.
To fill in time, we sat up at the old convent for a while, at the top of Percorso Turistico, the tourist trail. Then coffee at our bar, where met another couple of walkers- there is some comfort in knowing we are not the only crazy ones.
Right now, it is 2.00pm. Yet another couple have just trudged up the hill, but they were fully-laden with big backpacks. Phew. Someone else is relocating our luggage for us.
Festa dello Spirito Santo
We are lucky, though, this is the one day - Festa dello Spirito Santo, always the Monday after Pentecost Sunday. This will be a Spettacolo. People come from miles around. There will be ten statues that are borne by teams of men. The teams rush in and out of the church then process all the way down to the open-air church. Lots of folks are in town. Near that church is a sideshow alley for the young ones.
Yikes! A thunderclap - wish us luck.
