Paige got the Venitian masks she's been dying for since we got there and I made her wait until she saw a larger variety before picking the ones she wanted. We got Panini for lunch on the train and headed straight to the hotel when we got to Padova. The hotel was a bit further out of the city center than our last couple so it was nice and quiet. We dropped our bags, checked email quick and headed back to the city square for Paige to do some shopping (what I have been promising her since we got to Italy). I had the worst time trying to convince her NOT to buy stuff in Venice (can we just say it would be hard not to waste money there?)
She got some really cute things and a pair of jeans she loves so she is happy! We decided we were walked out for the day and got Gyros for dinner (Paige says they make the BEST here) and hit the hotel around 6pm to hang out and enjoy the BBC and CNN International channels on the TV (yeah, yeah...it's the little things). Tomorrow we take the early train to Vicenza to spend the day in the town of Paige's birthplace and I'm sure more shopping in the square there. I think we are going to need another suitcase, good thing we only brought carryons on the trip over (we are allowed one checked bag "free"!). We may have to take advantage of that benefit.
See you again tomorrow!

Paige showing off her prized Venitian masks when she finally had time at the hotel to take them out and admire them again. She wanted the ones with the plume feather but we decided there was just no way to get them back in one piece.
Enjoying Padova's city center
Three of our passages on our journey through Padova. Couldn't tell you where they are but there were certainly photo worthy.
See you from Vicenza tomorrow!
