As mentioned yesterday, today is International Women's Day and it's festival time in Alessandria.
These yellow flowers are sold everywhere and seem to be "thematic". They are a version of mimosa.
There was an additional Sunday market with vendors selling wine, cheese, and other great goodies.
This gentleman was selling wine from the Asti region. For some reason, he asked us where we are from? (Was it our accents??) Turns out he visited Philadelphia 15 years ago. We had a very nice visit, did some wine tasting and yes, did buy a bottle or two, or three, or...
Later, we encountered a political march. Many of the themes had to do with immigration and labor issues.
Safety was a priority....
Later, we spied the "Two Sisters" (see previous blog). They were all dressed up but had just missed the political march.
A great day ending....with wine, fresh strawberries and soft cheese from Sicily!
Life is good! Thank you!!!!
