We have some very dear friends that live in this city, so for the first half of our trip we stayed with them in their lovely home and took day trips to other cities. Seriously, Kelly, I still have daydreams about the amazingly comfortable bed that we slept in!
And we're off! We were pretty proud of ourselves for packing in these 2 backpacks. It was definitely a good decision.
Finally with friends...
A little Vicenza scenery.
So, one of the coolest things about the trip is that Vicenza was having their annual chocolate festival! We got a box of chocolates and some hot chocolate (more like hot pudding!). There was chocolate in so many flavors and shapes.
One evening, they took us to one of their favorite restaurants. It was indescribable! There was a little cellar, and above that was a room that Galileo supposedly studied in. The menu offered Kangaroo (which we are still bummed we didn't try!), but Ronnie got some lamb chops, and I got a pear ravioli with ham and cream sauce. Then we shared a creme brulee which was amazing.
