Day four was a trip to Cilipi. It was a short minivan ride with a tour to get to this little village. It really did not have much to skite about except for the traditional folk show it puts on every Sunday which is exactly why we came. Time to get a taste of the culture with the costumes and song. Clever marketing brings many tourists to this place and they sell their wares which are often little bags of home-grown lavender, or hand-embroidered cloth. Terry and I sampled the grappa and it was nasty! There were two kinds and both were equally difficult to consume. Anna likened it to 'rocket fuel' and that description is so apt. Then I found the sweet wine and so had a few of those and then a few more for good measure. We sat sampling while listening to a folk group. I so enjoyed their music that I bought their CD! And everyone back home will be treated to it. I did try to upload a video to give you a taster but it didn't work. The dancing was also a treat to watch although the music was a little repetitive as were the dance steps, the odd movements were amusing and in particular one dance where the males stole another male's dance partner.
