| In the Piazza Santa Croce, during San Giovanni. I think this is when Sisi developed her fear for firworks. We walked all the way from home and as we walked we searched for a spot to see the fireworks. It was near imossible and very uncomforable being pushed around by the crowd, finally by the time we got to Santa Croce we decided to head back home and noticed that the bleachers were still up from the local rugby games. It ended up being a perfect spot to watch the fireworks! |
