Gloria, of course, works full-time, so she will be working while I am here. Today was no different, and I went off to find the train station (statione di tren) and Garibaldi Square. The square was my first stop, as the weekly market was being held. I STILL had no plans to buy anything to add weight to my luggage, but it was fun to look around. It was mostly merchandise like clothing and household goods (all from China, according to Gloria). As I tried to find the train station-which was a challenge-I wandered into the Duomo, where there was a huge funeral mass being said for the Archbishop, it turned out. There had been 6 or so gendarmes outside and some on walkie-talkies, and their presence had aroused my suspicions. I FINALLY did find the station, where I purchased a train ticket to Pavia for the next day and a map of Alessandria to help me get home! Pavia is about an hour away and is supposed to have wonderful variety of architecture, and I will let you know!
