Padua is a larger city compared to those we’ve been in so far on this trip. There are many things to see and do. We are slow travelers so we’re making our way around the city at a snail’s pace. Tuesday we went to the market in Piazza del Frutti filled with produce, meats, cheeses, jams, and so much more!
We bought a sandwich and found a quiet place to eat our lunch but the persistent pigeons thought we should share.
We were excited to find that the Civic Museum very near our apartment has an exhibition of photography by Vivian Maier. She lived in both New York City and Chicago and took candid photos of people going about their daily lives.
She wrote this about her photos:
Her photographs in the exhibition were very well presented;
The photographs are wonderful and a reminder of days gone by.
We are enjoying our lovely apartment, which is so cozy that we like to linger longer than we probably should. We’ll be checking out more around the city today and we have tickets to visit Scrovegni Chapel this evening.
We will be in Padua until Friday but another transit strike is scheduled for that day. We hope that we have a solid plan that will get us to Mantua…fingers crossed!
