Torroella de Montgri's Festa Major 2005



We went on the CercaBirres on saturday night followed by the Barraques down by the river. We got home early though, about 4.30 in the morning. It goes on 'til 7. We know that because ever since Thursday morning, Steve has encountered people coming home from the party when he's off going to work at 6.45...

I've posted tons of pictures of the evening at viewfromtheroof, so have a look at the proper way to have a pub crawl complete with Scottish Bagpipe band. After the pub crawl we went down to the fair and it was absolutely packed. We realized that last year, it was probably just as packed, but we didn't manage to get out so late - the bands and bars don't actually start until midnight. We're learning, if not slowly...! Next year Steve is thinking of actually taking some time off work so we can enjoy more of the celebrations - it's hard when you work 'out of town', see... Unfortunately, the Ducs de Foc was cancelled this year due to rain (so I expect it'll be a HUGE display next year..!).

We've had the most unusual summer ever weather-wise this year. I mean, wearing jeans in August? We even discussed putting the duvet back on the bed, but it's the principle of the thing - we can't have a duvet in August. It's just so wrong!

Ah well, I'm sure we'll have a nice October and November to make up for it...
