Bologna Welcomes Us with the Sound of Scooters

by Max Hartshorne on June 20, 2007

We have reached our destination, the hotel Al Capello Rosso, in the center of Bologna. We were beat from the trip so slept for a while but now the second wind is coming and we’re off to meet some folks who work for the local newspaper.

Our tripmates are distinguished. Joe from the Boston Globe whose stories I’ve read in their Sunday magazine. A man named Frank who carries a big video camera and works for CBS. Another fellow named Stephano who writes for a US Italian language paper over in Jersey. And of course Max and Cindy from that well-known and well traveled website called GoNOMAD.com.

So far Bologna has been much more full of motorbikes than the bicycles that dominate Copenhagen. Here is is scooter-ville. The center of the city has two famous towers that lean and dominate the sky. We’re about to head out now that I’m almost done with the laptop chores for the day.
