first sunny day in bologna!
18.01.2008
Today was the first day of sun we've had in the week and a half I've been in Bologna, so I was finally able to take some pictures, though not many. My roommate Dana and I wandered around at the open air market and in various shops all afternoon.
Last night I had my first experience of Italian opera, albeit an unusual one: at the school of opera here in Bologna, a very modern interpretation of Orpheus and Eurydice. Tomorrow we're going on our first day trip to Ravenna, which is apparently known for its ancient mosaics.
Some pictures:
The opera house where we saw Orpheus and Eurydice
A dog graffito! Italians seem to be crazy about dogs.
You see them tied up on the sidewalk everywhere while their owners run into a shop.
Typical Italian signora: fur coat, tiny dog.
Everyone poking out to see the sun
One of lots of brightly colored buildings near my apartment
My roommates: Eric, Dana, and Joel
The Piazza Maggiore
I forget the name of this church but it's the main one in the center of Bologna
