A Few Random Pics

Below are random pics from Montichiari.  The first few are from a popular gelateria.


 This is something that still gets me every time: men coming into a restaurant midday to have a glass of wine.  I say men because that's all I have seen do it.
 Most European countries, as well as those South American countries that have strong European influences (Uruguay, Argentina, etc.) serve regular water or club soda.  In Uruguay it was called "con gas" or "sin gas."  In Italy, it is "naturale" or "frizzante."  Brett loves the fizzy water.  I still can't stand it.
 Fridays are market day in Montichiari.  This time, there was a saxophone player to accompany the shopping experience.
 Keeping with medieval roots, both wedding notices and funeral notices are posted on bulletin boards around the city.
