Delightful Day in Udine

Angela was kind enough to take Jay and me to Udine today. It was Republic Day in Italy, so everyone was out enjoying the holiday.

We spent some time this morning exploring a community flea market in Gorizia. Yes, flea markets are much the same no matter where one goes. Then on to the train station and Udine, where the campus is located.

We didn't actually go to the University of Udine though we did walk around it a bit. Instead we enjoyed a leisurely day wandering around the city, hearing live music on the square and eating, eating, eating. Angela had gotten a restaurant recommendation from Antonella, the concierge at our hotel, and her recommendation did not disappoint. Then after lunch on to a leisurely walk around the castle, then back to Gorizia. No major milestones, but a generally pleasant day.

On the way back from the train station, we went by a memorial to people who died in various concentration camps.
