Solopaca Grape Festival

 
In early September, the girls and I went to the Solopaca Grape Festival in Benevento with a few friends.  The grape festival is a week or so long calendar of events, ending in the renowned parade where the floats are made of grapes.  Because this is our last year in Italy, I thought this was an opportunity I could not pass up.  The weather was beautiful, and not too hot, but we found ourselves waiting for a long time for the parade to start, which was tough.  The floats were magnificent, so it was certainly worth it, but overall, an exhausting day.



And, this is how we felt after a long morning at the parade...

  2. Oh yes, it was a cool parade, but a VERY long day and hard on the girls. The grapes were cool, though!
