Our day trip last week was to Pavia and Vigevano, two small towns south of Milan. We visited a really neat monastery in Pavia where we were given a tour by a monk. We saw the church there along with the little apartments the monks used to live in. We then went into the little town of Pavia which was really quaint town. I am really starting to like the charm of the smaller towns in Italy that we visit. We toured the town and stopped for lunch here. I packed a lunch, but I decided to get some hot chocolate because it was cold out that day. This was my first experience having hot chocolate in Europe and I loved it. The hot chocolate here is like drinking pudding. It reminds me of the consistency of pudding when you are cooking it on a stove before it hardens. It was delicious! After lunch, we visited a medieval castle in the area before going to Vigevano to visit another castle. Our stop in Vigevano was short, and we were back to the villa by 7:30 that night!
