Buongiorno da Bologna Stazione Centrale

Sunday Antique Market

We just boarded the train for Padova/Padua after a restful weekend. Our batteries needed to be charged so we stayed close to home for two days. Now fully charged, we're on the road again. We'll divide our sight-seeing between Padova and Veneto today through Thursday.
Sunday afternoon we were treated to home cooking, courtesy of Shoshanna and a couple of her friends. Molto delizioso!
We ventured into town later. Street musicians and acrobats performed and passed the hat in Piazza Maggiore.  Really good stuff was being sold at a flea market on one of so many narrow, cobble stone streets. We wandered into Basilica Santo Stefano but didn't linger because I was wearing a sleeveless top. Bad form in a Catholic church, I learned.
Don't know what I ate last night! Small, very thin, curved strips of a chewy white seafood. Gary's beef dish had strips of a hard, purple vegetable, possibly raw eggplant skin.
Gracious Shoshanna invited us to use her washing machine. Thank goodness! We packed very lightly and need to do laundry often. Most often, I launder a few pieces in the sink at night.

We'll be checking into the Small Hotel Royal in Padova. We may have reserved a room with twin beds, just couldn't translate the description very well. We'll find out soon enough.
