Well...Brooks, Maddie and I are finally in Bologna! After the 7 hour flight from Boston to Zurich, the hour long layover in Zurich, the hour flight to Milan, then spending 2 hours in the train station waiting for our 2 hour long train ride to Bologna, we're settled into the house. We were greeted by Margaux (the daughter) and her boyfriend Paolo. We sat down around 8:30 (Italy Time) for a nice dinner with the two of them and they want to take the three of us to Il Centro Storico, which is the old part of the city. They want to take us around so that we can get our bearings. It's hard to believe that I'm actually here and that I will be spending a significant amount of time in another country. I haven't seen the city at all yet, but there is a fairly nice view from the window of the room that I am staying in (See above). There isn't much to see in this picture, but it's a nice view from the building. The flat that I'll be staying in is located right above a restaurant so I don't have to worry about food...ever! Not only will I be staying with the Griffi family, which is comprised of Gianna (the mother), Margaux (the daughter), and the son whom we haven't met yet, but also a cat named Cleo and a dog named Lamoux (not really sure how it is spelled). Both animals are very friendly and that will definitely make the stay more entertaining. We haven't been here that long, so there isn't much more to write about right now, but I'm sure there will be plenty to come!
