TOP Hotel Park Bologna

Yesterday I spent the whole entire day in Chianti!

I signed up the day before through Florence For Fun. They do trips to Chianti every other Saturday and take groups of 25 kids. I didn't know anyone going on this trip and I didn't sign up with anybody (all my apartmentmates were out of the country this weekend) but I made friends there...

Sunday, we woke up to a bright sunny morning!! Our first in Italy!! Too bad it was our last day...

We had a fabulous hotel breakfast (no sarcasm here...it really was amazing) and I downed as much fruit as I could and like 5 cups of coffee (seriously). Then, we headed out to Bologna.

I had been to Bologna, so I knew there wasn't...

President's Day in the USA--no work for Rob in Europe--a real day off! Although we are living a somewhat charmed existence by being here, truthfully, Rob usually works 12-hour days to accommodate his American and European clients, and although he travels (more than me as he does a lot of one-day meetings), he almost never takes a break. But wit...

Hola a todos, siento haber tardado tanto en escribir pero de nuevo la vuelta a la rutina diaria ha absorvido mi tiempo.
Os detallaré a continuación nuestro particular "top ten" de Bolonia, ciudad ya os avanzo, que vale la pena visitar.
- Toda la ciudad está porchada, es decir, puedes recorrerla realmente sin mojarte los días de lluvia pa...

Yeah, in Italy!! We travelled at:

5 AM from Aubagne to Marseilles

7 AM-10 AM Marseilles to Nice

11-4 PM Nice to Milan, Italy

4.30 PM Milan to Bologna and got into the Agienti home at 6 PM!! Yeah.

Gorgeous old flat in Bologna. Very high ceiling, marble, granite, and huge windows with blaconies overloo...

After practice Edwin who had said on Friday said he was going to Bologna, now said he wasn't going to Bologna, which really screwed the Bologna guys and myself over, because they drove two cars to accommodate both Edwina and I. If it had just been me, we would have been fine driving just one. Everyone's gas expense was just doubled. We stopped a...

Buongiorno! A quick note--there will often be more pictures in my collection than I post in this blog. So, be sure to check the photos above (they'll also be larger there)! Things have been going pretty well in Firenze although Brian has had a terrible time sleeping. The bedroom apartment is very quiet at night; so, if he can get to sleep, he st...

Il 27.07.07 dopo nove mesi di Kazakhstan si ritorna a casa finalmente!!! E all'Aeroporto, surprise surprise (beh in realtà non proprio surprise, era tutto concordato), mi trovo ad accogliermi, tra l'altro provvidenzialmente muniti di Guinness in quantità, i bellissimi e abbronzatissimi: Beasty, Mazzo e Spillo!!! E subito a bere in aeroporto, non...

Retail Therapy and a Nuttelaria Bologna is known in Italy as "La Grassa" (the fat one), because it is the countries gastronomic center. Famous for food, it's historic center, the university, and it's food. Where better to take a rest and catch up on some personal maintenance (our laundry was less then fresh). The day and a half we spent here wa...
