Santa Giusta....
Our first festival in Sardinia and what a lovley introduction into village life!. We were picked up by Sylvana and her sister Isabella and driven to this remote church in the country side, there over 300 villagers where sitting around long tables under the canopy of trees.

There we where presented with an array of local specialties: dried sausages, percorino cheese, Sardinian pasta and roast lamb. So much food I was fit to bust! The atmosphere was so friendly I really felt welcomed. One small note I did try to speak in Italian but my confidence was knocked back when I managed to inadvertently swear in front of a group of old ladies.

Everywhere I looked there where faces with so much character, it was a portrait photographers dream. The guy on the left was so intense - he also reminded me of the incredible Hulk!

This guy epitomized everything the "Festa" was all about- a good time. We referred to him as the "Smiley Man" We where to find out later that he runs a bar in the village and makes incredibly good wine!
