Kassey's Chronicles: Italy 2010

The ninth day was actually the only day that we went to what we would consider a department store. It was sort of like a mall on one side and a Wal-Mart on the other. I had to get a new battery for my camera since it had died the day before. We stopped a McDonald's for lunch. It was actually pretty amazing considering we had not had any "American" food for the past 9 days (not that the Italian wasn't wonderful!).We made our way down to San Cevera, which was an area like no other we had been to. It was still pretty, but it had more of a nervous type atmosphere. You could tell right away that we would not be as welcome there as we had been everywhere else. We were fed by some of the ladies of the church there....8 courses! We then performed in front of a clothing store on a small square area. After our show, we all thought we were going to die for a moment when they began their fireworks show. They used real gun powder and too much of it Everyone was much too close for the amount of fireworks they were using. You could feel the shock waves from each explosion. SCARY!
