| John and Mary and San Piedro Fortress |
We headed to Ponta Pietra,
the bridge first built by the Romans in the first century, the white stone is
original material. After last night’s rain the river has swelled with large
trees floating down river. The bridge has been rebuilt several times because of
flood or war. We took the funicular up to the San Piedro Fortress, the barracks
built for the Austrian soldiers. From here you have a beautiful view of the old
city, looking carefully, you can spot the Roman arena in the center. We
strolled through the streets to have lunch near the river. Several of us tried
the local dish, pasta with donkey meat. It rained while we ate and then the sun
came out for a nice afternoon.
We strolled to Piazza Bra for dinner. The kids are out for
Halloween stopping at Gelato stands and candy shops to trick or treat. Halloween
isn’t an Italian tradition, but the children are enthusiastic.
