We had a
fairly early morning, starting out by walking to the Maserati Factory. This
tour was actually easy to get tickets to, and I highly recommend it.
The tour
goes thru every stage of the production, in this case the M20, a beautiful
sports car. Both Dale and I could see ourselves driving this car. I think we
need a larger garage though and lots more storms will help with the money.
The tour
starts in the show room, then you walk to the old, original buildings in the
back. The exterior of the buildings cannot be changed but the interiors have
been refurbished to make way for modernization. There are pathways that go up
and down the areas so that you can see the vehicle in the various stages, from
a frame to the electronic instillation, the instillation of the various panels,
and areas for all kinds of testing for each car. There is also an experimental
area, experimenting with new motors and bodies.
We were not
able to shoot photos so we must take the memories as we have them.
From the
Maserati Factory, we walked to where we remembered the Balsamic Vinegar store
to be located. This 25-year-old Balsamic from Enoteca Ducale is the best I’ve
found in Modena. 2 years ago, I’d bought several different brands and taste
tested them with our grandson, Elias. We determined that this was the best.
We didn’t
remember that it was so far down the road, but we found it and I bought vinegar
for myself and those who I promised to bring it to. This will be Christmas, birthday,
and everything else for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, too many family
members love this vinegar. Additionally, I was out of the white balsamic and olive
oil with truffles so it was time to load up!

Now it was
off to Bologna for the train ride to Paris.
