G&P in Bologna Dec 2011

^man do I love that jacket

Remains of roman gate and pretty intact city wall…
Another tower, there used to be over 300 on Bologna, this one is pretty boring as it is vertical
More stunning architecture
Christmas tat market - decent surroundings though
Antique market in another part of town, surroundings again were stunning - the Church in the background is 7 churches in one. Over the years as different religions held power, they would just build another church over the exiting one, so this has 7 layers of church, much like an onion…
And there was some great stuff for sale. We bought this extremely useful 1860 Sevres container
Giorgio proving that he is tough enough
Giorgio and his wife, Silvia
Parmesan shop
Pretty Christmassy portici

Having a wonderful time, great to meet up with Georgeel and his beautiful wife, we covered a lot of ground yesterday and got through some amazing food. Am generally too busy chatting, eating or drinking to take pix so apologies but here are a few:
Outside San Francisco church, in the sunshine
Entrance to the Spanish college student digs
Giles standing outside wishing he'd been a student there
Another beautiful building

Can't afford to chrome plate bits of your Harley? No problem, the Bolognese solution just requires baking foil, available from most good supermarkets…..
This chapel was built in the 8th and 9th centuries, not in bad nick…
…...apart from the fact that some of the columns have had to have a little remedial work performed on them....
