Bologna

Posted by Erin.Devin | 23rd August 2008

The final stop before our train, or I guess plane, heads back for New York. Now, one should know that the entire reason that we came to Bologna is for the simple fact that Bolognese is Erin's favorite sauce, and she needed to travel to its home and eat as much of it as humanly possible. Therefore, a lot of our time here was spent eating. After getting back into Italy (Ancona) from the ferry from Croatia, we hopped a train and headed up to the city which is in the North of Italy. It's a fairly small college town, that has the same vibe as a college town in the U.S., namely alternative/hippy/intellectual. Also, the entire city looks like it hasn't much changed since medieval days, which is pretty cool. There aren't many sights to see, with the exception of the Piazza Maggiore which is a giant plaza that always has somebody doing something crazy in it (we've seen a brass band and marionettes so far) and the Neptune Fountain that sits in the corner of the plaza.
