Today, I went exploring near the house. Cristina asked me to go to the market near the house and pick up some zucchini for dinner. The markets in Padova are open markets just like our farmers market but here there are 2 to 3 markets in different piazza's, which is square. I went to Piazza delle Erbe. After that I walked around and looked at the different shops. I took some pictures of beautiful buildings, churches and the market.
Many people in the city ride Vespa's or bicycles to get around. It makes me what to get a bike when I return home, actually I am rethinking and now I was a Vespa :)
Around 3:30pm, Cristina and I will ride bicycles to the kiddos school to pick them up. On the way back there are cute shops that I am going to go to tomorrow and sit outside for lunch.
