Subject: You were right about the harbour festival
Hi Sophie,
I owe you an apology and a thank-you in the same sentence, which is awkward but accurate. The harbour festival, which you insisted we should not skip, turned out to be the highlight of our trip.
We nearly missed it because Tom, who checked the schedule on his phone, read the wrong weekend. The correct dates, which the tourist office confirmed when I walked in confused, started the day we planned to leave. We extended the rental, which cost extra but saved us from regret.
The opening parade, which wound through narrow streets to the waterfront, featured boats decorated with lights that reflected on calm water. Musicians, who played from decks rather than stages, created sound that moved with the procession. Children, whose faces glowed with painted lanterns, ran alongside parents carrying thermoses of soup.
Food stalls, which lined the pier, offered seafood I still smell when I close my eyes. Grilled sardines, which locals eat whole without ceremony, tasted better than any restaurant version we tried earlier. A baker, whose stall sold honey cakes warm from portable ovens, gave us samples because we asked about ingredients in broken phrases he found amusing.
The fireworks, which launched at midnight from barges anchored mid-harbour, lasted twenty minutes without repetition. Crowds, who gathered on rooftops the city opened specially, cheered at bursts that synchronized with music from speakers along the shore. Anna, who hates loud noise, admitted even she felt moved.
We met your friend Claudia, whose name you mentioned last spring, entirely by accident near the fish auction. She recognised our accent, which apparently marks us clearly, and invited us to a table her family reserved. Her uncle, who fishes commercially, explained tides and quotas over wine that appeared without us ordering.
The craft market, which occupied a warehouse converted for the occasion, sold textiles whose patterns Claudia said originate from island traditions. I bought a scarf, which I will bring you in September, from a weaver who demonstrated her loom for curious visitors. Prices, which seemed fair for handwork, supported artisans whose income depends on seasonal events.
Weather, which threatened rain on the second day, held off until Monday when we were already driving home. Sunday's boat races, which pit neighbourhood crews against each other, drew crowds that statistics later reported broke attendance records. Commentators, who narrated from a platform near the lighthouse, made comedy from capsizes that nobody suffered seriously.
Our hotel, which sat two streets from the harbour, let us store luggage late because the manager remembered us from check-in. Housekeeping, who usually work unseen, waved from a window when they saw us returning muddy from the shore path. Small kindnesses, which travel stories often omit, matter as much as spectacular sights.
Photographs, which I uploaded to the shared album, include one of you that Claudia showed on her phone from a previous year. You, who claimed the festival was overrated when I first mentioned it, appear grinning beside a stall identical to one we visited.
