Tre Vecchi Bologna

... decided to not be present for my arrival. I have found an internet cafe and decided to write. I also was able to post a few more pictures but on Facebook so I'll send you links and hope they work!<br><br>http://www.facebook.com/al bum.php?aid=110883&amp;id=514314153&amp ;l=2e1a71a8f0<br><br>http://www.faceboo k.com/album.php?aid=114357&amp;id=51431 4153&amp;l=719f9180c6<br><br>Give it a try!<br>Love to all!<br>Benita<br>

Short 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.

... cabbies, who would not take us, we found a gypsy cab and Mandi bargained him down to a 35 euro ride home. And that's how we ended up blasting along the very roads we had biked earlier, in a random cab just hoping to get home. And we did, he dropped us off right in front of our door. <br><br>The next day, we were headed for the Cinque Terre, and I'll tell you more about that in the next.<br><br>Jael

Ok, how funny. Ninety percent of all is closed until end of August. Now, today is FERRAGUSTA. End of summer celebration. It is day two of us trying to get to Venice. Yesterday, Alex, bad tummy. Today, NOTHING in Venice will be open. Nor tomorrow. We will go to the park here today and then pack ...

... I was laughing because it was just ridiculous that that whole sequence was able to take place: ridiculously lucky, ridiculously stupid, however you want to qualify it. It was the greatest, smoothest, most miraculous goal I have ever scored in my life. And I couldn't have been more proud to do it in Italy playing with a bunch of Italians. We finished the game winning soundly behind my five goals and Marco's three. Afterward we drove around to the other side of ...

... opportunity would never have been possible. I want to encourage everyone, if the opportunity arises, to shed your fears of the unknown and to go outside of your "comfort zone", take a chance and enjoy life! Carpe Diem !!!!!!!!!!!!! From Steve's Point of View Our adventure was a privilege. The opportunity was thrust upon us. We did not go looking for an end to my relationship with JSUMC and the Trauma Center that I worked so hard to shape into a center of excellence for the ...

While I'm aware it will come as little surprise to most of you, but I made shopping a priority this past weekend as I have been much too well behaved lately and thought I should treat myself (I like to do that once in a while you see). So when another student at the language school suggested going to Bologna for a day of shopping last Saturday, I couldn't ...

... our next stop was in a much older and pokier part of the factory at the engine assembly room, where both V8 and V12 engines are built for all Ferraris and Maseratis. Then, having seen some of the parts being put together, we finished off at the car assembly area where each of the current F430 and 599 models progressed through the production line, starting out as mere skeletons and finally rolling off as the completed head-turners. The most frenetic movement ...

... without rittalin and with a lot of candy. Seriously. He was very happy and I was happy for him. And I had fun too, there were lots of pretty cars. And it was fun to see all the cars from the 80s that look so outdated now. Anyhow, we caught the bus back to Modena and then the train back to Bologna, where we camped for the night. The campground was okay, and in the morning ...

June 10, 2002<br><br>Back on the bus! This time to Italy!! We went to Pisa (and had pizza for lunch!) We saw the tower, of course, and the church. Got to shop in the souvenir shops and sit for awhile in the sun. Very peaceful day. I can tell I'm getting tired, because the travel journal entries are shorter and shorter!<br> <br><br><br><br>We were in ...
