Padova Explored

The next day was spent exploring Padova some more... we took my first "Hop on Hop off" bus tour of my entire trip!

Arrival in Padova - Family Reunion!

okay so it has been a while since writing.

I have been putting it off for a while for various reasons, a lot of it is because I assume it's mostly only my parents that read this, and they were here for the next part of it.

I guess I will still write something about the Italy trip, but probably not as thoroughly.

Ok so I arrived in Padova and found the hotel no problem. My parents rolled in and after a little while we took an initial orientating walk around the city:

We had to wait until the restaurant was open at about 7:30 to have dinner, so we hung out in the hotel rooms and vegged. I was working on a little bee sweater for Bimbo, a stuffed monkey, so I was mostly working on that processing the fact that I was actually in Italy. Everything had worked out, but I was still super on-edge and nervous about nothing.

We went out for a family dinner - something that had not happened for a long time!
