Italy contiued...

Day 3: Parma - Modena

-Great breakfast, but God forsekenly early...(6:30am...c'mon...)
-Head to Parmesan Cheese Factory for tour!
-Outside, put on near-HazMat suits (seriously, the paper hat, jacket, shoe booties, and this surgeon-esque masks (not required, but really? of course we like al wore them!)), followed around by two random dogs (Delal and Karem wigging out over any dog)
- Inside, 15 or so giant vasts of boiling milk...spelled exactly of parmesan...heaven.
- Saw room where the cheese floats in salt water, then where it is stored for 1-3 years (called the "vault"). Over 10,000 wheels there (I'm not even kidding, you will have to check out the pictures!)
- 10 people only make 16-22 wheels/day
- From "cheese-water, the guys take out cheese using big paddle, sticks and cheese cloth. 1 vat = 2-50lb wheels), and pressed into the round forms
- Random woman comes in to use leftover water from vat to soak feet in...(I know, I know...gross...but I guess she has some condition where cheese water cures...those Italians...)
- GIFT SHOP!!!
- Walking tour of Parma, split from Adams so she can get an X-ray of her foot...
- Lose 2 on tour, but man (kinda lofty) doesn't seem phased, and continues
- See churches and piazzas (only things I can really remember)
- Split for lunch/shopping
- Our little group late to bus...whoops!
- Back in Modena, Amanda and I walked around entire city from 3:30pm-7:30 - opera house, churches, duomo, shops, market, dinner (my first ever Kabap...don't know what it is? well...neither do I...kinda like a gyro)
- Watch "From Hell" in Amanda's quite small room (bad idea...freaked out), so watch "The Comeback" for some humor (didn't work too well...)
- Accidentally locked roommate out for over an hour...did I have the only key?
