the fun goes on

We went to Padua the day before yesterday to see the frescoes. They apparently mad everyone rethink modern painting because of the way the artist got the paint to stick with the plaster. There was some good shopping, great eating and a much more mellow pace as it is a college town minus the bicycles that stop for no one.

Our last day in Venice included one of the most interesting museums as it had a very unique collection with a great sketching exhibit. I made it to Tuscany last night and gearing up for an adventure into Florence. My friend's place is on a hill overlooking the city and has thirty acres of olive groves. Beautiful...
