Travel day to Bologna

On our drive from Cortina to Bologna, we decided to stop and see Vitto’s mom in Padova. We took a slight 30 minute detour because Google said a road was closed. The switchback road didn’t sit so well with Andrew early in the morning and he threw up. Barfy’s back! Andrew didn’t do very well on the road to Hana in Hawaii. In Padova, we found a street food market going on. There were a ton of people and very long lines. We decided to go get pizza at Vitto’s favorite place. Then we walked to Saint Anthony of Padova’s cathedral and went inside. It was beautiful! It was the kids first “big & impressive” cathedral.
We got back in the car and I immediately fell asleep. So the drive to Bologna was short and I’m sure scenic. We found a parking spot and walked a short couple of blocks to the apartment. Gabe choose an apartment on the 3rd floor of a building without an elevator. The apartment is Ok. It was a little dusty and missing quite a few household items but we will manage. Gabe and I left and went to the store to get stocked up. We requested a few things from the management company to bring over. I rearranged the kitchen and cleaned up the apartment. Since we are in a big city Gabe decided to look for some Asian food for dinner. It started to rain and the restaurant wouldn’t deliver in the rain. So we got our rain coats on and went for a walk. The Italians in this city were very smart and all the side walks are covered! We hardly even got wet. The food was worth the walk. It was different from all the pasta and delicious. We are excited to get up and walk around this new big city!Read more
