Modena & Maranello

So the weekend after I went to Monza for the Formula 1 race (YAY), I went to Modena to see il Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari and il Museo Ferrari in Maranello. Yes, both are Ferrari museums, one of them was at Enzo Ferrari's house, and the other was dedicated to the race cars. It was pretty cool, I don't have much to say other that I went and saw cars, and it was fun. Haha, I went with my friend Margarita and her boyfriend, who was visiting for the week.

My new Favorite Ferrari. Mmmmm Green :)

After we visited the museums, we hung around Modena as Margarita said it was famous for its food, and that there was a UNESCO world heritage site (the Cathedral) there. We stopped at a bar and had a few drinks, I ordered an Irish coffee which was a mistake. Did not realize that they put Irish whiskey in it--I was thinking, "ooh, it'll be good like having Bailey's in my coffee!" No, not so much. I could barely get it down. We walked around for a bit after that, as we were waiting for our train that would take us back to Florence at 7, and we fell asleep in a park. Haha.
 
My Lunch in Modena: Pasta with Ragu (Meat sauce), YUM.


My Irish Coffee as it is so nicely written on the glass they gave me. You can see the whiskey and the cream separating from the coffee at the bottom--bleckk.

Overall, I'd say it was a good day.
