Katie is in Italy!

My sister, Katie, left yesterday for a 3 month trip to Italy.  How fantastic!

Her first stop is Padua, and she arrived there this morning.  Padua is a city not far from Venice. Padua is on the Bacchiglione River.  It has arcaded streets, communal piazze, and many bridges. It looks beautiful:

PS:  I had to look up arcaded streets.  What I found out made me want to live in a place with arcaded streets! They are covered sidewalks that protect pedestrians from weather. Arcade basically means series of arches. Here's an example:

Awesome!  I'd like to get some of these in Asheville!
