On Sunday I woke up early, watched some tv, and around 9 I went to lay back down because I was feeling kind of tired. Antonio woke up and we started talking, all of a sudden we hear a trumpet playing the wake-up song (you know, the one they always play in movies when kids are at camp… in order to wake them up). So they like half play it and then it dies down, I turn to Antonio and say, “who owns a trumpet around here?” we both just kind of ignore it and keep talking about school and how his exam period is going, when all of a sudden it starts up again, this time it’s super loud, and it plays the whole song, then there are drums that start up. We both jump out of the bed and go to the window, and on the street are some people all dressed up in medieval clothing and there are trumpet guys, but not real trumpets, those long trumpets that you always see in movies in castles with kings and stuff, well there were those and rows and rows of drummers, then there were flag bearers and whatnot… it was a whole medieval procession that apparently was starting on our street… So they start marching to the drums and it finally quiets down. Antonio and I got a laugh out of it, but I told him I would have been annoyed if I had actually wanted to sleep.
Later on in the day I want to Piazza Duomo (the main piazza in town) and there was an archery tournament going on, and everyone was dressed in medieval clothing there too, and then there were stands all over the place showing how people back then dyed their clothes and how they made fabric and how they did mosaics… and EVERYONE was dressed in medieval clothing, it was really neat. I guess they hold this festival in town every year. I thought it was pretty cool, so I am pretty sure all the kids in town thought it was awesome! I love it when a normal lazy day turns into something fun and exciting!!! It’s one of the small pleasures in life!
