Exploring Fuiuli

Today I convinced Aunt Tracy to drive us to some nearby towns. Mommy found on the internet that the town of Palmanova was having a food festival. When we arrived it turned out that the food festival had ended on Sunday but we visited a large market in the town instead. The town of Palmanova was a neat fortified star shaped city. Mommy and Daddy had their first of many cappuccinos while I watched the people and absorbed the local culture. We had pizza for lunch, it was yummy!

After visiting Palmanova we drove on to the town of Trieste, this town in known for its Castello del Miramare on the bay of the Adriatic. We didn’t visit the castle but observed it from the harbor walkway. There were a lot of Italians sunbathing on the shore and swimming in the water so Mommy thought it’d be a good idea for us to put our feet in the water. She didn’t realize how cold the water was going to be; but typical Mommy put our feet in it anyway. I wasn’t very thrilled with the idea but didn’t have much of a choice. I screamed as soon as the water touched my toes; I think that taught Mommy a quick lesson.

On the way back home we stopped at an Agip for another cappuccino and a quick diaper change. Finally we ended the day with a visit to an Italian toy store, we were looking for a stroller but didn’t find one that we really liked so I just window shopped for toys. I thought I had Aunt Tracy wrapped around my finger and she’d buy me some toys but I guess I’m going to have to wait until I’m bigger and can ask for them.
