Ferrara Wednesday

Today’s focus has been on postcards and eating.
I had half my breakfast here then walked to the place I found yesterday. I tried a different Ferranese speciality for morning tea – a torta di tagliatelle. It tasted of almonds – not sure where the tagliatelle was but I will ask when I next go there. I think I took about an hour. Bought more postcards then home.

I walked to a different Post office for some stamps and found a nice place for lunch and had the cappellaci ( large tortellini like things stuffed with pumpkin) with ragu ( known to the rest of the world as bolognaise sauce – but nicer) , lots of water and no cake and no alcohol.

More postcard writing and photo sorting then off to the same bar as morning tea. I tried the local sangiovese and had a couple of little pizzas. After a while the mosquitos got the better of me. It has been raining intermittently all day and apparently mosquitos are a big problem in Ferrara. I went in and talked to the 2 ladies and the barman about wine, gelato, Australia – all sorts of things. They knew of the gelato place I had been but recommended a closer on which I went to but I donot think it was a nice. He just put the 2 scoops one on top of the other. I feel I have eaten well today but not overeaten like I have for the last few days.
