Wren and Lee Anne didn't go on this day trip because we had been last year and we thought we might hold the guys up. So Jason, Ted and Chad (from work) went to actually participate in the Ivrea Orange Battle this year. For more information on this interesting carnevale celebration, please see our post from last year at http://wren05.blogspot.com/2007/02/carnevale-in-ivrea.html

WOW!
WHOA! How cool! I would love to do something like that, but am a big chicken. I bet people get pretty rough with the throwing and I'd be scared of getting hit in the eye!! It looks SO fun though...
Living vicariously while I still can!
