We had a great day planned for Saturday. We had a two-year-old's birthday party to attend (the social event of the weekend, as it turns out), and then we were going to go to a Bella Befana Fest in our village. Bella Befana, for those that don't know, is the Italian Christmas witch who comes to visit children on the night before Epiphany (Jan. 6). Many villages around this area build enormous bonfires and burn a witch at the top for this celebration, and they served mulled wine, and everyone has a great time.
Well, it has been raining quite a bit over the past few days. On our way to the birthday party, we were literally about to turn to park our car, and a car just plowed right into Chris' BMW. The great thing is that, since we were at our friends' house, we had several people who saw the accident. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, but Chris' car needs some work (the trunk won't close and the lights are shattered). The other girl's car is totaled, though.
Luckily, the other car was being driven by an American. We have the same insurance, and this probably cut the time devoted to reporting the accident in half. It still took a long time.
We finally got back to the birthday party (we had to go all the way to the base to finish the report), and found out eventually that La Befana was cancelled in Giais due to all the rain. So, it turned out to be a bummer of a day, but we still had a great time at the party with our friends!
