Friday we went to watch some of his friends who are in a band play at a bar and that was nice. Saturday we went to a party in Pedorobba, another town. It is called Festa della Castagna (Party of the Chestnuts) because they are coming into season now. It is just in a big tent and you can drink and eat chestnuts and there is a band (although they werent very good). But it was fun though. We just sat at a table and drank the whole time. And Sunday we went to Bassano to walk around and we had some drinks and pizza. So it was a nice weekend.
This is Andrea as a guest singer with the band:
This is the big church in Montebelluna that I pass everyday on the way to pick up Chicco from his grandma's house. It is very pretty but the main reason I took a picture of it now is because the day before I saw a funeral here. I felt a little weird taking a picture but I wish I did. So instead I took a picture of just the church. I wanted to take a picture that day because when I walked by they were starting the funeral procession. In America, that usually means all the cars follow the hearse to the cemetery. Well here they had someone walking in front of the hearse carrying a cross and then instead of cars, all the people were walking behind the hearse. I dont know if that is an Italian thing or not but it was very interesting to see.
