Bologna day 15

Day two in Bologna was a tour day of the Anatomical Theatre(yr 1637) It was a room dedicated to teaching doctors anatomy by doing secretive autopsies. The church disapproved of these actions. It is a marble slab surrounded by those who share their knowledge of anatomy. We also discovered Janes favorite saying. After that, we walked the streets for lunch. Miriam was looking for a charcuterie plate of Mortadella. It was found at a deli in which we all pigged out on sandwiches of fresh bread with deli meat of Mortadella, salami, and cheeses with Valpolicella Classico. We all died and went to heaven enjoying that lunch. After we continued our walks through the fresh fruit and vegetables market. Stopping for a drink before going on a tour proved to be a treat in itself. All we wanted was an expresso martini. Boy, did I piss the waitresses off? Who knew that the only drinks you could order in Italy had to be pictured on a menu? Expresso was delivered and when we said no she got all upset. I knew something was wrong when she just didn't get what we wanted in the first place. She just had to point out in the menu the list of drinks only allowed with a " why you do that. " Me bad..... I downed a beer and quickly left. The others sure didn't let me down on that one. We all decided to do a hop-on hop-off tour of Bologna but proved to be a sleep fest for all of us. The beer had nothing to do with it. It was nice to see other parts of the town but it was snooze time for all of us. We have a busy day going to Florence tomorrow to start our 7 days in Tuscany.Read more
