Piacenza

We took a train from Milan to Piacenza. Piacenza was Matt's favorite city he served in. It was fun to visit because there weren't tourists like in Rome and Milan. We didn't take a ton of pictures but it was a lot of fun to walk around and see things and just get the feel of a small italian town. We went to church and visited with members of the branch as well as the missionaries serving there now. This is where we were when the earthquake in Modena happened, only 60 miles away. We weren't affected by it, although we both woke up in the wee hours of the morning at about the same time it happened, so maybe we felt it? Luckily on our way out of town we were able to catch a train that was 135 minutes late (due to the earthquake) and a direct train to Torino, our next destination. It pulled up just as we got there and we hopped on! Perfect!
