Our first experience taking il Treno

We decided we needed a practice run before we were trying to traverse the train station with all our luggage in tow.  So we took a short trip to Parma. Home of parmigiano reggiano cheese and parma ham (prosciutto).  It was only a half hour train ride and once we figured out the platform and learn Est from Ovest (east from west) for which platform, we were good to go.  Parma was a nice little town with some great markets. We bought some balsamic vinegar and freshly cut and packaged cheese and sausage.  We also bought some dessert to take back and have after dinner in Bologna. We had leftovers from the night before and since we weren't getting back until after 8 that sounded perfect. Oh and it was!  Sorry, no pictures I took them all with real camera instead of iPhone.   Lots of walking- Elizabeth have you been checking my steps?
