Wandering around - Girovagando

On Sunday there was an event here at the castle of Ceglie Messapica to showcase new olive oil production and local culinary treats. There was music planned as well, but I didn't see or hear anything because, as usual, I arrived too early, which is to say only half an hour after the expected start of the event. By 5:15 half of the tables still had not been set up, and after chatting for a bit with a friend, I got tired of waiting, wandered off and took a few photos. I will never learn.
Domenica scorsa c'e` stato un evento al castello ducale di Ceglie Messapica per la presentazione dell'olio nuovo e di altre prelibatezze gastronomiche di Ceglie. Era prevista anche la musica, ma non ho visto e sentito niente, perché come al solito sono arrivata troppo presto e, cioè, mezz'ora dopo l'orario previsto per l'inizio dell'evento. Verso le 17,15 la meta` dei tavoli erano ancora vuoti e così, dopo aver chiacchierato per un po' con un amico, mi sono stancata di aspettare e me ne sono andata. Ne ho approfittato per scattare qualche foto. Non imparerò mai.

Maybe someday I'll learn to go to everything at least an hour late, or more.....
Forse un giorno imparerò ad andare agli eventi con un ora di ritardo, o di più...
