We spent a few more days in Courmayeur, enjoying the free wifi and nice people at the Biblioteca Courmayeur, and also the Feast of S. Pantaleone, patron saint of Courmayeur, which we saw also in 2005.

| Lines form long before the Feast begins |

| His Grace appears |
 |
| The band plays on |
 |
| The eating and drinking goes on |
 |
| Thus |

The way it works is you pay 20 euros and they give you
one of these plates to wear around your neck, entitling you
to unlimited visits to about 20 or so food and drink stands,
an Aostan culinary extravaganza |

We enjoyed the festive atmosphere, but preferred sitting
down at our old favorite, Le Vieux Pommier, the Crepes
Mont Blanc, the veal, fontina, ham cholesteramas; twice we
ate there this time |

We are (as always) enjoying your blog and photos.
We always love seeing the local festivals. It's always interesting to see the food, activities, and the People.
