Vicenza Arrival ....

On the road to Vicenza, driving home from the airport.
Lea & Kevin's apartment is on the historic list of places.
Headed up all the steps to the apartment.
Almost there!
View from the balcony.
LOTS of steps- no elevator. Quite the workout on a 90 degree day.
Gated entrance to the parking area. The countess has her quarters behind the 2nd gate in the background.

View of the church bells from the balcony. There is no sleeping in on a Sunday here!
Vicenza from Lea's patio.



Our first night out on the town....... 

Lea trying to help Erin with the cigarette machine.
The piazza of Vicenza (downtown area).

"The Orange Bar" where lots of Americans and Italians come to hang out.
Red wine and Prosecco. A staple at an Italian dinner.

Tortellini in a cream sauce with ham. So good! This night we ate at a restaurant called Paradiso in Vicenza that has lots of outdoor seating and a very extensive menu. The food is very reasonably priced and the portion sizes are closer to American standard then they are at most other restaurants in the area.
The automatic cigarette machines are scattered around the area of downtown.

A 1/2 liter of Vino Rosso.
