A huge number of those tourists were the Americans from Naples. Your chocolate festival is hotly advertised here among the expats... but I can only enjoy your lush picture since I never have wanted to drag three kids through the crowds and call it a 'vacation'. But how about that chili pinched dark chocolate! Mmmm. Thanks for this wonderful blog. Ha! A huge number of those tourists were the Americans from Naples.

By the way, if anyone wants to know, Saturdays in Via della Cupa 9 there is a lovely traditional milonga. With regard to the link you gave me - the organizer is a dear friend of mine so thanks for posting it - he'll be glad to know word has gotten around! :-) Well, I think I'll eat some chocolate right now.

People *everywhere*, tents set up in streets, in fields, etc. This was happening during my first 2 weeks in my village. I spent a lot of time hiding in my room. I enjoyed it a lot the next couple years, though. The Ghanaian town I lived in had a religious festival every year; During it, population went from 2-3000 to maybe 10-15000.
