A day at the beach

On April 2, my dad came for a visit. I picked him up at the airport and we just hung out that day because he was very tired. On Friday we walked around Ferrara, checked out the market, the Duomo, and the Castello Estense. Saturday was a rainy, dreary day, so we didn't do much, though that night we went out to one of our favorite local restaurants, Via Vai. After dinner, I took Emily home, and Daddy and Jeff went to have a glass of wine at Al Brindisi, a local wine bar, which is supposed to be the oldest wine bar in the world. It was apparently well known by the 15th century.

On Sunday, the weather was finally nice, and we went over to Porto Garibaldi to enjoy the beach. It was warm and sunny, and not too crowded, so we had a lovely walk and enjoyed picking up shells.
