My Feast on St John the Baptist Feast Day

This feast day, similar to the saint day held in each Mexican city, is only celebrated in Florence. Banks and schools were closed so there were no classes at the British Institute. Tonight, fireworks will mark this special day for St. John the Baptist.

From my perspective, it was a great day to rest, try to absorb the world-changing news of the Brexit passage, and finally eat a delicious lunch of porchetta. If you're unfamiliar with this Tuscan bit of culinary ingenuity, here's a New York Times article that will explain it.

  1. Actually the Feast of San Juan, which is the same Feast you are mentioning in Florence, is a very big day here in Spain as well where people flock to the beaches and burn bonfires and are up all night. Apparently to jump over the fire, the folk wisdom says, will cleanse your sins. Plus it is just a big party all night long.

  3. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
    At this time it appears like Wordpress is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?costa rica luxury resorts
