Then in the afternoon, we went to Certosa di Pavia which is a large monastary complex built in the late 1300's and taking about 100 years to complete. It has changed hands from Carthusians to Cistercians to Carmelites back to the Carthusians and then Benedictines. The monks who currently reside there are Cistercians admitted in the 1960's.
I wish I could have taken more pictures, but they ask you not to. And even though there were still lots of people taking pictures, it seemed disrespectful to do so. I just took one picture from the outside before I realized we weren't supposed to take any.
Tonight David premiered two of his songs. He sang one and a soprano sang another. It was an awesome experience for him to sing in Italy, in Italian!
And now some photos of my parents since my mom said I didn't have any pictures of them on this travel log. If it weren't for my parents, none of this would be possible. I'd just be sitting in my dorm room in Pavia feeling sorry for myself. So ... THANKS MOM AND DAD!!
