On Friday, we left for our Northern Field Trip! We spent some time in Ferrara to see the Castello Estense and Palazzo Schifanoia (and eat a really yummy pizza with rucola and ricotta, and a free beer!)

We played in the park


And then continued on to Padova where we saw the Basilica del Santo, which was stunning. It was huge, but not overly dark like some churches tend to be...it was full of light, dramatic scuptures, colorful frescos...and lots of creepy reliquaries.

Then, to our very nice hotel in Padova for a group dinner. We had lasagna bolognese, guinea fowl with creamy polenta and some kind of yummy green cooked with pancetta...and some yummy and odd cake (dolce pazientina)

Then we spent the evening playing pictionary telephone with friends!
