Loving Married Life in Cleveland

 Another day, another perfect espresso.  We went to a cafeteria and had a simple cafe'. We then began our wondering around and found a Biblioteca that had these cool moon structure.  There is Ronnie between the holes of mooncheese.  LOL look at that ceiling We were then next to the Basilica I could not get in yesterday, so in we went!  Basilicata di San Petronio.  Again, stunning.  It is just so beautiful.   Then the street scenes as we walk along, a man playing accordion, under graffiti of course.   Ronnie wanted to check out a grocery store.  This was a small one, but look at that canned sauce and how cheap most of it is.  The prices in the stores are so reasonable.   And then what we went in search of for the day....all Ronnie wanted as we came back to Italy....his favorite meal of all time....Trippa! The restaurant has a hand written menu, a surly chef who drank at least 3 glasses of wine while we were there ...

 Today we leave Ancona and travel to Bologna where I studied for 6 weeks 24 years ago.  We started with breakfast at our hotel- heck out that fresh honeycomb, my beautiful chocolate croissant, fresh ricotta, hazelnuts, and Ronnie has 2 eggs and the color of eggs here is just amazing.  That orange yolk! it was then off to the train where because I was late buying tickets, we could not even sit in the same care for the 2 hour train ride.  But it was ok,  We just knew the stop.  I tried to catch a photo of the countryside as we went from Ancona to Bologna.   Our hotel is very close to the train station- which I wanted so we could maybe do day trips to other cities-  The room is good for what we needed but so expensive for what we were getting.  The manager was asking if we were here for some event going on in the city and explained that is why rooms were so expensive everywhere.  Which explains why I had a hard time even finding a room...
