She looks down on all comers with wide open eyes under high-arched brows.
The day of our arrival was a festal one, being consecrated to the god of the waters; wherefore large boats gayly decked with flags and party-colored streamers, containing crowds of gayly dressed men in harlequin style, were rowing in long processions through the water-ways of the city and under the many high-arched bridges.
More than a thousand flasks of wine are annually obtained from these two vines. A large grotto has been excavated in one of the upper terraces whose whole front side is open, and forms a high-arched hall. In the fine summer evenings there is music, dancing, and even theatrical performances. On Sundays and festivals the pretty gardens of the governor are opened to the public.
