Via de'Fusari 9, Piazza Maggiore Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, 40123, 051-261891
Hi folks, We spent the last couple of days in the often overlooked, but very historic city of Bologna. Unfortunately, many things were closed during the Easter holiday, but we were still able to see some of the sights. We stayed in a small hotel right off of Balogna's main square Piazza Maggiore. It had gone through many iterations of construction, but the original building dated back to the 14th century. The city is amazing with preserved medieval architecture and nearly 40km of porticoes. E...

Jumping around from place to place, town to town. Not really staying anywhere long enough to experience ...
Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy benitalutzShort train ride from Florence after a hair raising trip trying to return the rental car in confusing, congested and traffic restrictied Florence (don't rent a car downtown go to the airport). Bologna is an university town (even Johns Hopkin has a campus). Very historical town with a great plaza area like most towns and a great antique market.
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy pathenger... miles from a little town north of Bologna to Ferrara. Luckily they have bike friendly trains here, because that's how we got home. <br><br>That night, we met Gherardo, a friend of my former professor's, who used to live in DC, so spoke very good English, for dinner. He took us to a "typical" Bologna restaurant, I ate amazing bolognese, and we peppered Gherardo with questions about Italy, Italians ...
Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy jaeleli... are packed with tourists... We visited funny art exhibitions that where part of the biennale and had lots of fun trying to understand it. In the evening we joined Nico and Cristina for a yoga class! What a day! <br><br>The next day we left Venice direction Padua. We decided to cycle more south, direction Livorno or Rome (where we can take a ferry to Barcelona). On the way we will visit our friend Andrea, that we met in the ...
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy holadiyo... ad aspettare che aprano un bar per fare colazione.. L'ultimo capuccino e brioche per i prossimi 10 gorni.. :) Saluto i miei e assonnato mi avvio con il mio trolley oltre la zona libera.. Ora posso veramente dire che il mio viaggio comincia.. Ore 6, aprono i cancelli per l'imbarco. Il pullmino ci porta a spasso per la pista fino a fermrsi di fianco a un ATR, un bimotore a elica della Czeck Airlaines.. Cominciamo bene.. Già piove, ed erano settimane che non pioveva.. Poi mi ...
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy bengodi... not fit on any one step a lot of the time, and e) had two-way pedestrian traffic. I don't tend to have problems with heights, but I realized pretty quick that I had to stop every once in a while to not freak out. And Laurenie, if I had had that Adavan with me I would have taken it, haha. The view at the top was rewarding, but not rewarding enough! Haha. It was quite beautiful though. Sad that I'll never see the view ...
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy viaggiatore87... experience, not just a monotonous lecture. I will always cherish this time, because learning at any age is attainable if you can open your mind. (see pictures). We were even able to start a yoga class, which Rebecca and I translated into Italian! My one concern now is how do I keep this Italian lesson going??? Here is one idea I had: Tomorrow, I am meeting with one of the anesthesiologists at Sant'Orsola Hospital. I am hoping to become a hospital volunteer in the ICU and my ...
Bologna, Italy kcassaro... introduction in a presentation room was the component processing area. Here in a very new and spacious building the employees were producing crank shafts, cylinder heads and cylinder blocks, with the factory floor also home to a dazzling collection of classic Ferrari models from various eras – intended to be an inspiration to the workers of the finished masterpieces they are each playing a part in creating. <br><br>After then passing through the paint ...
Maranello, Emilia-Romagna, Italy troywilkinson... for dinner. It’s a beautiful spa town and smells good! I took a long walk through the park and had a Gran Marnier on the patio. Peggy had Amaretto which pleased the bartender/host. He didn’t like my ordering a French liqueur! The hotel was one of the nicest on our tour. <br><br>We left our window open and it was actually cold when we got up!
