Description

The Europeade of the Folklore was held in Padova from 11 to 15 July. Born in 1964, it has been held every year for 40 years in a different city of Europe. About 250 groups performed around the city: here is a Bavarian group performing a typical dance in the small square in front of my favourite bar. Here Flavia and me usually go to have a glass of cool Prosecco wine and chips as an aperitif and to read the local paper. That day we couldn't have our usual aperitif because the Hungarians, who had performed before the Bavarians (we missed them) had drained all the bar's wine supply. The Bavarians, however, were busy to drain its beer supply, but they didn't miss a beat of the dance! Thanks for your kind comments.

Fascinating drinking habits!! When I see these lederhosen I always think of the Monty Python fish-slapping dance! I am not sure why! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCwLirQS2-o

that is folklore! The "normal" Bavarian pulls this clothes not on or very rarely. And I do not drink beer. Only wine. All fairy tale.....

All that beer drinking must keep them fit, to do these sort of 'acrobatics' - and at the same time enjoying themselves - or so it seems? ;) You and Flavia, will have to wait for another day now and for new supplies! ;( BB
