Today is Tuesday, May 7th, it’s 11:45 pm here and I’m very tired so excuse the short post.  We said good bye to Venice and our home on the Canareggio Canal for the past 5 days. We took the bullet train, the Frecciargento at 125 mph from Venice to Bologna, the Italian capital of good food.  After eating lunch and dinner here tonight, we all would probably agree with that description of good food.  This city is so interesting.  Buildings that were built one thousand years ago are all around.  You see it in the doors, the windows, the roof lines.  We walked around two leaning towers and are planning to climb to the top of the tall one tomorrow morning. 

Should be some great opportunities for viewing.  Doug discovered a head attached to a building that he swears is me after I let my beard grow.  I will let you be the judge.

A final thought.  For desert tonight, we had what is called moscarpone…a wonderful, light cream cheese and shaved chocolate concoction that can only be described as a taste of heaven.  Wow…..If the three of us hadn’t insisted that Doug leave with us, he would have remained at the restaurant eating bowl after bowl after bowl of moscarpone.  It was that good!  Ciao!
