Day and night

We live in an old neighborhood of stone buildings ranging in age from 200 to nearly 2000 years old.  By day there are lots of interesting things to see in the neighborhood.

This is what a nearby Place (Place Geneve) looks like by day.

Last night, from our rooftop terrace, we were watching swifts flying around in the twilight. We could hear music and singing, so we walked towards the Place and were surprised to find a giant neighborhood party going on.  People had hauled tables and chairs to one section to eat dinner, then the entertainment began.  Live music, singing and dancing.  What an interesting event to stumble upon.  Here is a bit of what it looked like.


Today is a national holiday, Ascension Day.  The celebration must have begun on its eve.
