Life: Idiotropic

Today we stopped by the Gangelter Gourmet, a two day festival held in the Freihof just in front of the church. The weather was iffy spitting rain on and off all day, so the crowds were low, but the people that were there seemed to be enjoying themselves and were all dressed in their Sunday best, many men in sport coats and women wearing black blazers. (nope, no well-dressed folks in this photo... the "fancy" people were all by the nicer wine cart)
About eight venders were set up. Most were restaurants cooking some of their more popular dishes right there. The Portugues restaurant had some very tempting giant prawns on a skewer. More then anything - there was wine. Usually all festivals here are dominated by beer. Today is was wine. 1Euro for a glass.

Among the venders were tables both with and without a cover from the rain. They all had beautiful centerpieces like the one below and wine menus. Nicely dressed waiters scurried around serving the people there just as if we were all in a lovely outdoor restaurant.

A stage at one end had a brass band playing typical band music. It seemed a little out of place, but, the music was nice nonetheless.

Elise had a cold all weekend, so as much as I wanted to try something yummy, I had to leave quickly. It is an event that I will try my best to catch next year as the atmosphere was very nice - even with big band.
