Festa Italiana!
Went to the Portland Festa Italiana today with Krystal! We only stayed for a couple hours, but the band we watched was really great and fun, and the Crostini Toscana I ordered was super yummy. The tomatoes and the ricotta were perfect and the bread was crispy and buttery and mmm. Also got a Romano’s Italian Soda. I don’t usually drink soda, but it beckoned to me :P There’s a picture of it below this post. It was pretty much just carbonated water, artifical flavouring and sugar, but it was real sugar! Which makes me way happier in my soul than HFCS.
Anyway, we got there at kind of a bad time I think, because they took a 2-3 hour break in their line up after Ray Massa’s EuroRhythms played, and we got bored. The food was a little on the spendy side, but it was yummy and like I said, the music was great. There were also puppets! We didn’t see the puppet show, but the puppets were so good to look at. I think I’ll need to go back tomorrow or Saturday, later in the evening, to get the full experience! And if I do, I’ll get pictures of the puppets for sure.
