Museums to break up a ride

Perugina Museum in Perugia: 

• the 2:45 reservation got us out of the house to start our northern Italy vacation over Christmas vacation
• story of Luisa Spagnoli
• a love story I'll have to look up to understand completely (http://lifeisabowlofpasta.com/2016/03/09/luisa-spagnoli-chocolatier-entrepreneur-feminist-fashion-house/)
• Luisa Spagnoli's creating jobs for women during WWI and making a daycare center on site so these women could work
• model of biggest bacio ever made
• samples upon samples
• the factory seen through glass, machines churning out baci and automatically wrapping them up, reminding us of a Curious George book
• Connor's purchase of a Perugina bear
• memory of friends who visited and came here, returning to us in Viterbo with a box of dark chocolate truffles and notice of the newest pink bacio
• frisbee in the parking lot

Lamberghini Museum in Bologna:

• what happens when you ask the kids on a four hour ride, "Is there anywhere anyone wants to stop on the way?  We're headed through Bologna."  The one child with a phone, the thirteen-year-old, answers, "The Lamberghini Museum."
• now I will remember that a g with an h after it is always hard in Italian
• sending photos to Gus and Orly, the kids' friends back in Waltham who follow cars as much as our kids
• a timeline that noted Lamberghini highlights along with world highlights, including that Ireland granted marriage rights to gay people in 2015 (Mary: "Only since 2015?")
