Today we drove to Bologna, home of the world’s oldest university. We wandered around the streets, looked at the very old buildings, towers and the covered terrazzo sidewalks. After a lovely lunch at a local trattoria complete with wine and pasta, we wandered thru an outdoor goods market that had everything from shoes to sun glasses at flea market prices (we understand they have very good bargains, but didn’t find anything we couldn’t live without). Robert wanted to see the local theatre and it wasn’t open in the afternoon, but it was open for an orchestral concert in the evening. As it turns out, the city of Bologna was appointed a UNESCO City of Music on 29 May 2006 so they were celebrating with a series of free concerts. Afterwards, the streets were packed with people enjoying their weekend and we decided on a fantastic place to eat dinner and followed it up with gelato (yummy!). See the pictures.
