Bologna: No, no, not the Meat!




We left Monday morning for Bologna. The van did not start so we had to take another car. In Bologna we saw two big towers that used to belong to rich families. Both of them were leaning a bit to the side. In the Middle Ages all the rich families used to build humongous towers. Those two are the only ones left in Bologna.



On the first night to went out to dinner with some of my mother’s work friends to a restaurant with traditional foods. We also went out walking till about 11 o’clock every night, to the central fountain and back. On the fountain there is a statue of the Greek god Poseidon and on the side there are two of Poseidon’s little fish people. And, by the way, the trident of this Poseidon is what is on the front of Ferrari cars. There was an outdoor movie projected in the central square, everyday in summer. The second day my dad and I walked across the city and back, and I did all the navigation.



Today we drove to Ferrara and walked to the middle of the town and back really quickly. When we were there we saw some really fancy buildings and a cool church with all kinds of statues on them like Poseidon, horses, and lions with wings. On the way back we went to pick up my mom in Parma, where she was on a business trip. Then we went back to Milan.
