Mmmmmmmm.... it's good, and at 3,90 Euros, the price was right. It's a couple of slices of some amazing nutty-flavored bread, with a spinachy mixture thing spread along the inside.
I've been getting my usual sleepies around 2:30pm, and have found that those itty-bitty cups of cafe they serve at the AutoSnack have just the zing I need to keep my eyes open. At the AutoSnack they're 1,00 Euro (about $1.26 today). The attendant serves the cafe to you at a counter top, and you drink it standing up there. I'm good at saying "Due cafe, per favore," at this point. The cups look like something out of a little girl's play tea set, and the coffee all goes down in one potent sip.
Today before we got onto the Autostrada, we went to the Leonardo Museum in Vinci. ("Leonardo da Vinci" means "Leonardo, from Vinci" - so it's the Leonardo Museum, in the town of Vinci). As someone who grew up abandoning Barbie dolls in favor of Erector Sets, I highly recommend the Leonardo Museum. There are models of many of the items Leonardo sketched out as concepts, with explanations. Also several videos showing how the contraptions work.
From there, we went north over a mountain (the road looked like someone's small intestine on the map) and found a way to do some splashing in the Mediterranean Sea for a little bit at Forte dei Marmi, a great little coastal town with views of the marble mines in the mountains above the sea. Finally, we ended up for the night in Pavia, just south of Milan. Lots of touristing / photo ops through small towns makes for a slow day! We did get on the Autostrada for a while to make up time. Not sure where we'll land tomorrow night, but it will be somewhere between here and Frankfurt.
