Bologna (Part 1)

Ciao! Mi dispiace! It's been so long since my last post! There is nothing of substantial interest that occurs during my actual week days, and the last weekend I was traveling for three solid days!After a seemingly long week of classes, our entire group headed to Bologna for an art history field trip. We woke up and got on a chartered bus (which was wonderful) and ventured out into the rainy weather for our 1.5 hour trip to Bologna. In the company of our art history professor, who is slightly odd and a tad boring, we went to our first church, San Dominico, where the 'saint' is entombed. The reason why it is famous is that among the sculptures on the tomb, there are two statuettes by Michelangelo, an angel and David. The angel is below...

We then wandered around all the streets of Bologna underneath the typical porticos that are characteristic of Bologna. Thankfully, by the time we were walking around, the sun came out and it warmed up a little bit! Lunch was fabulous in Bolgona... no bologni for us... but yummy nevertheless! Afterwards we went to a couple galleries which unfortunately, were pretty draining. The paintings were beautiful, but Linda's voice is so boring and we were all tired from standing and walking around for hours!

Finally, we ventured off to the train station where we headed over to Verona! This is a picture of Sarah and Mariana, who I stayed with in Verona.
