Bologna gets better

Though, my day yesterday was still pretty wrecked because of the nap I took. I did walk around a bit yesterday and today, and some of the old parts of town are very lovely. University is either just finishing or just finished, and there are tons of students roaming the streets and tons of flyers for apartments, bicycles, scooters, etc for sale or for rent for the summer.

I've started shopping.

I wanted to go to the Ducati Museum today, but when I was checking for hours, I saw the fine print that said viewings were by appointment only. Alas.

Tomorrow, I will be on the train to Bologna and a hostel that has no lockouts or curfews (YIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE).

And I will get to see if all the hype about David is warranted or not. I remember when I saw the Mona Lisa, I thought it was lovely, but it didn't resonate with me as much as other classical paintings did. It's like someone fifty years ago thinking Dostoevsky was brilliant, but when I tried to read D several years ago, I thought "this is why there are now editors..."

In any case, I'm happy to be on my way out of Bologna, even if I didn't get to go to the Ducati Museum.
