*******FESTA ITALIANA, 2006, PHOTOS AND COMMENTARY ON THE CONCERTS & TENORS WE SAW AND MET:


Here we are at Festa Italiana in Milwakee on Saturday, July 22, 2006. I wanted to make sure to take a couple pictures of this Statue of David. We just got a digital camera for the first time last year, but we don't take many photos at Festa Italiana because we're always rushing around trying not to miss the beginning of all the many concerts and singers we want to see, and this year there were several great ones! With 10 stages of continuous entertainment, not to mention so many more off-stage attractions, there really is enough to keep everyone busy and happy. We also had beautiful weather in the 70's, with just one period of sudden thunderstorm threats, but while it was sunny, I wish we had taken a photo of Lake Michigan's lakefront (where Festa Italiana is located), because it really is very nice. When it is sunny, the water is even blue! We also couldn't take any photos of the amazing fireworks, of course, but we've never seen any locally as good as the Italians put on each night here!
