Gobs of people hanging out having fun on an Italian weekend.
Fish pond outside the museum.
I love this photo. I read about shooting waterfalls before we left, but didn't think I'd actually get to try out the technique until we got somewhere more forest less desert.
I loved this painting. It was done by a street artist named Mambo, which doesn't yield the greatest hope for an independent website. But regardless of having his own website, his art was awesome.
Steve found this outside the aquarium, and we couldn't believe that Italy had floating head problems too!
Reading and hoola-hooping makes this girl just about the most awesome park goer we saw in Italy. Plus the creepy/angry guy on the left was worth a good laugh.
I loved how many people were outside hanging out in the park. At any given time you could easily count 10 soccer balls up in the air at a time. I do not however love big construction cranes that insist on sitting in front of my shot.
We had spotted a cool looking triumphal arch from the castle, so we headed over to see it. It was the Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace) which was built in the first half of the 19th century. We walked over to it, and got some great views across the park back towards the castle.
Ode to Napoleon.
We went to a brick oven pizza place for dinner, and the pizza was amazing. In Italy, restaurants often have a service charge called cuperto, which they add to the bill. The funny thing is that they translated it as "forks, knives, tablecloth, glasses". It kind of sucks, because that fee doesn't go to the server, and it really discouraged us from leaving a tip.
