Got Away to B-O-L-O-G-N-A

The last blog posts were way too long. If this blog is going to be sustainable I’m going to need to condense these thoughts into shorter snippets. So with that in mind here are the events of today.

We woke up early, and got on the bus early to leave Florence and head to Parma for a few nights. We stopped in Bologna around the middle of the day to look at the train station, and how the team there manages the rail traffic, and monitors all the dangers on the rail.

We had lunch at a sandwich place, and I got a delicious sandwich with eggplant and Bolognese Salame. And while we ate we were shocked by a car suddenly catching on fire. The fire fighters of the city were fairly quick to respond. And it didn't appear as though anybody was harmed.

After that incident we went back on the bus to drive to the Ducati motorcycle factory. Those bikes were beautiful. They had angular designs and chassis of bright red or silver. One of the models, the Scrambler, is reminiscent of the style of motorcycle in the 60s and 70s.

And following that we went to the Lamborghini museum, which was cool for a few minutes. But too much time was scheduled for it, and the museum wasn't really that big. One of the Lamborghini heirs was present though with an actor. They might be making a Lamborghini movie soon, I might feel obliged to see that now.

But now I'm in Parma. And really I haven't seen much of the city yet. But I'm staying here for at least a few nights. All I can say is the cheese really is tasty here.
