On the first morning, T slept until 12 pm, 13 hours straight. After two failed attempts to arouse me, I finally opened the shades in his room and he eventually got out of bed. That first afternoon, we took a drive with TF and C around nearby areas. Our main stop was Citta Della, whose predominant feature is a still standing medieval wall that surrounds the city. Citta Della was originally used as a garrison for solidiers whose job was to protect nearby Padova. We were able to walk around the top of the city wall, check out the guard towers, look at the niches where archers could lob arrows down upon enemies, and look at the city and moat that still has water in it. T was very interested in the replicas of knight gear--chain mail, the helmets with the nose protection, shields, spears and swords, and bows and arrows. He was anxious to show Papa the room with the knight gear (after he had relieved himself on the nearby lawn, completely independently).
I especially liked the the CAUTION sign. Doesn't the outline of a person falling disastrously encourage careful footing? For me, it did.
