Back in Bologna

We arrived in the Bologna airport on January 13 after a rather easy set of flights. We took the monorail to the central bus station and walked about a mile to our apartment in San Donato. On the way there we saw about 20 green parrots with long tails clustered in a couple of trees, something we certainly were not expecting. 

Since then, we have done some shopping, met a few of our friends, tilted at the bureaucratic windmill without much success, and tried to keep warm, which is not so easy. Our apartment is always chilly, and the building turns off the heat entirely between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

We both are still suffering from jet lag, insomnia, and fatigue, and this may explain why this post is rather overdue. I include two pictures of the view out my window. Nancy may have pictures of the parrots, but she is napping right now.

Anyway, we are enjoying Bologna, taking long walks among the portici and seeing our friends. Cheers!
