Re: Today in pictures

Have been tour guide to my cousin and her partner for the last 2 days around Cremona. Took a few pics. Two different examples of Cobbles in Cremona are included -mediaeval and Roman -the roman road is viewable through glass in Via Solferino -it's about 2 and a half metres below current ground level.

In Via Solferino there is a beautiful old shop (established 1836) where I buy certain delicious little sweets, Pastiglie Leone, which have been mentioned on Accyweb in the past! We had a good look round the center and visited the Town Hall and the Stradivarius collection -no photos allowed in there though!We had to wait at the bar and had delicious iced coffee while the BBC were filming the violin collection -they were also filming the Cathedral square after -don't know what programme it will be though!

Tried to get some interesting reflections following Dave Mac's lead...it's hard taking photos with a crutch in hand so I did my best and hope you like them
