Bologna Shopping Adventure and Phone Number

  Bologna, Italy
Tuesday, September 25, 2007

While I'm aware it will come as little surprise to most of you, but I made shopping a priority this past weekend as I have been much too well behaved lately and thought I should treat myself (I like to do that once in a while you see).  So when another student at the language school suggested going to Bologna for a day of shopping last Saturday, I couldn't help but accept!   Suffice to say it was very successful (no mom and dad, I don't an emergency cash injection, not yet anyway...).  The shopping was fabulous of course, which I'm beginning to discover is fairly normal here!  Anyway, we also got to see lots of the city which is really quite beautiful, with great architecture and some excellent restaurants (we had a great lunch in this outdoor almost sidewalk-ish cafe - excellent pasta and wine!). 

I was also VERY excited to finally have a phone number to put with my cell phone.  The number is  3317135124.  If you are calling from Canada or the US, you need to dial 011 39 and then the phone number .  If you're dialling from Europe, then 00 39 and the number.  While calling is pricey, I think texting is fairly cheap so feel free to send me a text any time!!  (and when I say any time I mean any time before 5:30 Eastern Standard time thanks). 

Anyway, that's really all for now.  I've also managed to get a scorcher of a sunburn from lounging on the beach all Sunday back here in Ravenna!  Sigh, the challenges of relaxing!  :P  Catch you all later!
