October 6th and 7th...it's National Wine Festival weekend in Moldova. The weather is a beautiful 80 degrees and sunny. And as the sign in the picture says, We invite you to National Wine Day. (Read more about it at (http://www.moldovawineday.md/# ) The stage is set in the raion center of Orhei for the Sarbatoarea Vinului or Celebration of Wine. The folk groups are lining up to present their song and music. It's a full blow street fair right down Stefan cel Mare Blvd. Each village is welcome to present their own hospitality table or exhibition booth. Of course there is plenty of home made food. Friends come dressed in folk costume to represent their town or village. And of course there's dancing!! The best dancers on the street were from my village of Piatra. Our theme was La Gura Beciului or Taste of the Wine Cellar. And our course we had good home made food....and dancing!!! Some folks roasted a pig. Many groups gave performances. And the chilren of Orhei showed off many of their accomplishments. It was one terrific gathering. Noroc și Sănătate!
So of course I want to know... did you get out there and dance? Love that shot of the people dancing in the street!
