ReplyDeleteI skipped the dinner along with Charlotte, Mary Jane and Ingrid. I lost 2 lbs on the trip ( I don't think it was because of missing the dinner but rather alot of walking :)
ReplyDeleteThe four of us set out about 7pm after a rest/nap to go to a local cafe to experience Bologna famous torteloni. Lidia, our Trafalgar guide made me promise we would take a taxi...however we decided why bother for a couple blocks. I'm not sure what the activity going on with large groups of young men hanging out on the streets was...Mary Jane said they were probably waiting for church service:) We walked arm and arm, quickly to the first open cafe, which was lovely. Charlotte got a margarita pizza for 3 euros which was enough to feed all of us but we all had our own entree. When we left the streets were clear and a nice walk to the hotel stopping for a tri mo suu gelato.
