Today I went with my friend Abby to Bologna. We found out that we had to take 3 different trains to get to Bologna when we got to Florence with just a regional pass. When we got to the first stop, which was in the middle of nowhere, we missed the train because of a little girl on crutches. The next train did not come till 4 hours later. We could take the inner city train straight to Bologna, but we had to pay extra. That is what we did.
Bologna is an awesome city. There is a ton of awesome shops as well as ruins. We saw a castle, Neptune fountain, and other cool buildings. I had the best meal I have had from the whole trip. Bologna is known for their tortellini. It was amazing! I also had the best red wine I have had this whole trip. I think the name was Lambrosta, but I am not quite sure.
After lunch, we went to two really old towers. One tower is leaning more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was really neat to see. After the towers, we went to the oldest university in the world. I have not been in a more ghetto place than this, and every time I get lost I end up in the ghetto. There was not a wall untouched with graffiti. There were sketchy looking people everywhere! We even saw a man pick an ice cream cone out of the trash can and eat it!!! Gross!! Let me just say we made our trip to the university very short! After that we went shopping and went back to Castiglion.
Kirsten’s birthday was this weekend and tonight we went out to celebrate it. I had so much fun! We went to one of the bars and every time we walk in, they start playing music. We danced and had fun. Then we went to another bar called the Velvet Underground. They had a DJ playing old school rock music. They were having mosh pits and everyone was rockin’ out. It was so much fun!! I think this is the best night I have had in Italy!! Everyone here is so great!
Ciao!
