Medieval Nights - Complete with Tights! Part 3

Get ready for your final installment of Medieval Nights - Complete with Tights! This isn't the end of the medieval fun, or the end of the tights, but it is the end of this series.

The night after the walk around and eat function, we went to Palazzo Farranttini for a harp recital. The harpist was wonderful and as always the views were amazing. This is a view of the tower next to the duomo from the backyard of the Palazzo.
Another view. I would give anything to have this as my backyard.
Here is the harpist. For her encore she played and sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
This is Sant'Agostino. I'm not going to lie, even though I walk past it everyday I had to look it up to find the name. They don't really have names on the churches, and I haven't gone in this one yet. However, this is the piazza near school, so it is close to my heart. 
The following day during lunch we had a random whiteout rain storm that lasted about 3 minutes. Unfortunately Emily was walking to the store at the same time and got caught in the rain. Here she is not pointing at her bottom, she is trying to show you how the front of her is drenched and the back of her is dry. 
That night we went to a big dinner for the Crux Burgi. 
The tables at these events are long picnic tables, and you don't really sit in groups. So you sit with the locals. Lindsey and I got to sit with these boys (who just could not sit still long enough to take a photo).

I'm not quite sure who this guy is, but he was dragging around the other guy (well... not dragging, but he had the other guy on a rope) and kept talking to all of the tables. He spoke a little too quickly for us to understand much.
Then the drummers came. I love the drummers. The drums are so cool, you can hear them coming from streets away.
An announcement... I don't remember what it was about.
Lindsey and I at the dinner. This is the ONLY non-red devil eye picture of me in weeks.
One last shot of the piazza before we went home for the evening. The dinner was lovely we had antipasti, pasta, sausage, and watermelon and cookies for dessert. Oh, and bottles and bottles of wine of course.
Ciao Ciao!
