This last friday at work we held the fighter pilot tradition of a "Nameage Ceremony." It's when the guys get together and stories are told about the new guys in the squadron and the crowd "votes" on possible callsigns for them. It's a fun night and is always hilarious. Saturday was spent cleaning the squadron bar/lounge and was followed by my research of road bicycles. I want to get one and bike the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia with a friend--or possibly somewhere in France. There isn't much time this summer to do it, so I have to start the planning and "training" now.
On Sunday, a friend and I took the train down to Padova. It's just about an hour and ten minute train ride....essentially one stop to the west of Venice. Padova is a sweet city. St. Anthony's Church is there and houses some of Donatello's sculptures, etc. Padova also has Europe's largest open square--which is mostly all grass and surrounded by statues and a little moat/creek. It is also a famous University town and popular for it's collection of art.
Pictures are: A statue in the Square, and some random Italian guys sitting outside.
