My new friends Vicenza suggested that I do not rent a car and drive around the Adriatic. They said that that area is only interesting in the summer if you want to go to the beaches. Otherwise the towns are not very interesting. So on Friday I visited two of the local towns near Aviano. The most interesting was Pordenone with its small palace and Basilica and lots of winding cobblestone alleyways with shops,cafes, and restaurants. The three pictures are from Pordenone. Had great eggplant parmesan at a restaurant there. Friday was a pretty low key day which was okay because I knew I wanted to spend the day in Venice on Saturday.
