Bologna Photos
A busy day on the picture front, and thus the second installment of our photos from Italy — Bologna. We went there for the food, but had a wonderful (if rather confusing) walk around town. While the city center has some lovely historic art and architecture, there are also some areas that reflect the fact that Bologna is a real, working city, not just a tourist destination. All in all, a very interesting and diverse place to visit.
Ravenna Photos
As promised, I've finally posted the first batch of photos from our recent trip to Italy. These pictures are from Ravenna, a city on the east coast with some amazing Byzantine mosaics, where we stopped on our way from Florence to Venice. While we hate to contest the dictates of our travel lord and master, Rick Steves, we respectfully disagree with his assessment of Ravenna — it is defintely worth an overnight stay.
