Looking down on the salt pans, and Molentargius Lagoon, home to thousands of splendid pink flamingos

 

 

 

We visited Maracalagonis and were entertained by a folklore group.

 
 

 

 

 

They danced and sang, served breads, cheeses, salami's, olives, and wine flowed like it was water.  A great time.

 

 

 

 

 

Onward to Firenze (Florence) Italy.
