Grappa
... and voila there is grappa. I reallly do not like it, it is way too strong for me, but it was nice to see anyway. Since it was beginning of winter, they put up a fake ice-skating field in the middle of the square. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the ice-pad felt a little out of place, but the idea is very nice.
On our way home we stopped at cittadella, which is medieval city, that still has the old ...
Looking Through A Window in Time
... on tiny little pocket bikes as well as a remote control car race. In the market, there were games set up for children, working with clay, building blocks, jousting and general games.

We toured through the overwhelming Basilica di San Marc, the mozaic artwork is outstanding. ...
First taste of gelato
... three cones, it was so creamy and smooth. I got cinnamon and caffe. I would go back just to have some more gelato. We walked around for the next couple of hours exploring the town some more.
Treviso wore us out, we retired to be somewhat early that night. The next day we explore the town of Padova stumbling upon this cute cafe on a quite street. We sat outside sipping our cappuccinos and eating sandwiches. Oh I forgot to mention that the weather has been ...
