So I was a little bummed out that I missed the Cortona medieval fair with the flag throwing contest because I could not figure out the train/bus combo..
Turns out that Arezzo is getting ready for their joust on the weekend we leave (we will miss) and this afternoon was their flag contest. I heard the drums of the parade as I was skyping with Brian so I ran out to see it.. I am so fortunate to be staying less than a block away from Piazza grande..
So I was able to see them march in have their contest and everything.. Very cool, .
 |
| The march in. |
 |
| The first group did routines with one one flag. |
 |
| The second group had two. |
 |
| hard to get in the picture but they threw flags up really high and often switched.. they put jugglers to shame. |
 |
| They left quickly after the final flag.. I could hear them marching around town. They have performed at other Piazzas. |
 |
| Soon it was just Piazza Grande again. |
