Hard Bonus: Include a renaissance fair
Easy Bonus: Incorporate the name of a foreign city
I’d like to ponder what it means to be Across the Pond. Generally speaking, when people of US & Canada speak of it, we’re speaking of the United Kingdom. When Packer fans are speaking about it, yes, Detroit Lions fans, we’re talking about you! But I digress… “across the pond specifically means across the Atlantic Ocean, in which case, São Tomé and Príncipe is just as equally. Maybe I’m just trying to discover “new” music to me.
The Renaissance began in Florence and spread throughout Italy before moving out toward western & northern Europe. It seems as if most American fall fairs like the Bristol Renaissance Faire celebrate English/Great Britain style, and happens late summer, ending Labor Day weekend. Going south of the border (for you non-Midwesterners, that’s Illinois/Chicago Bears land) has Medieval Times, another fun Renaissance tribute that has dinner & a show – right down to time characters. And did you know, Italy doesn’t have these celebrations? Huh… For tribute, some Venetian Ren music.
