Bloggable Bologna

I finally made it to Bologna, alternately known as La Citta` Rossa (“The Red City”–for its gorgeous red buildings and reputed communist leanings) and “La Grassa,” (“The Fat”- for reasons that should be obvious by the end of my Bologna series.)

Yes, in just a little more than 24 hours, my friends Marysia and Gaelle and I managed to eat and drink our way through nine different establishments in the Italian city most renowned for its food (and we stopped off in a museum just to prove we could.)  We partook of gelato, pasta, cured meats, cakes, cappucino, and cocktails among students at the University of Bologna, well-dressed Italian children and their parents, and a variety of canines.

Pictures and detailed reviews will come in the upcoming days.
