Hello everyone,
Once again our travels continued after leaving beautiful Tuscany, we stopped at Bologna. Much to our surprise this city was quite nice to wonder around in, considering when we came in by train it was dirty, full of graffiti & not a pleasant train station. This city has the oldest university still running in Europe. There was a decent amount of tourist, but not over bearing. The town had a religious festival on, so the beautiful old San peditrio church, had a service happening with choir singing, the amazing pipe organ playing, with the church filled, people from all walks of life, singing & coming together in prayer, was a nice experience to sit & observe.
Change of pace, off on the speed train to Venice. Up the ante, tourist everywhere, traffic jams of a different type, being on the water in the canals this time. The charm of this grand old city, you can understand why it is immersed in a quaint romantic lifestyle. The crisscrossing of the beautiful bridges, walking the stone paths amongst the local villages, the atmosphere that food, wine, families,friends, music draws people together is the most fabulous sight to watch & be part of. The incredible old structures, architect, history, traditional culture, coming together with tourism just allows you to enjoy the journey.
