I've never been to Pavia and the opportunity presents itself today! It 's a meeting with friends who had not seen for a long time and finally we can embrace. So in a day a bit 'cold, but sunny reach Pavia. The visit to the Certosa is very nice, the outside world, hidden by scaffolding for restoration, does not prepare the elegance of marble and stained glass windows that can be admired inside the church. There is a guide to Monaco Benedictine (probably will guide the Carthusian monasteries of St. Benedict!) that illustrates the life of the benefactors who contributed to the construction of the monastery, takes us to the rooms where the monks lived and we realized that they were not arranged so bad, everyone had a small garden.
After a hot tea to go strolling downtown, where I see the famous towers, the cathedral, the Roman bridge (too bad that the original bridge from the Roman era have it demolished after the war!), The university, castle. The area is mostly dedicated to pedestrians and is a pleasure to stroll, stopping to buy chocolate, yes, because there are now a number of stalls selling their products all made of chocolate (evviva!)
The evening ends at the table in front of a delicious dish of rice with porcini mushrooms, after all, what else could I ordered Pavia?
The day is over, return home with the best memory: the sympathy and affection, the joy of being with Christ, Anto, Mark, and Mark Martin.
