Sunset from Santa Lucia, directly above my apartment. Christmas Day. Rita and I drank very tasty wine as we watched the sun go down. The owner was a character and he had a beverage or two. We got to chatting and he refused to let us pay for the wine. Great restaurant. Will go back.
Again, the shadows…
December 26 is Saint Stephen’s Day. A nearby town, Nocchi, has a new tradition of holding what they call a “live creche.” Rita and I went. Very popular. Had to park far away and walk up. Very fun. Totally worth it.
Nocchi had many different crafts people doing traditional crafts: laundry washing, making bread, cobbler, sharpening knives, ironmongery, wood carving, chair weaving. Such fun to see it. Plus they had mulled wine, tastes of bread and polenta, cooked sausages. Ran into some friends. A fun evening.
Pietrasanta had an exhibit of hand-made creches. Very cool. Here are my selection:
This was a lifesize creche in the main square of Pietrasanta.
Nice! So hard to find a good ironmonger.
Indeed… Not a problem I’ve had often but you never know…
Very nice- just showed my mom………..
I love those shadows!
