Italy

Post by Michael »

Well I booked my tickets to go to the international Alzheimer's/Parkinson's disease conference in Sorrento Italy in March. I'm pretty excited about the trip because I've never been to Europe before.

I'm flying into Rome four days early so I can see some of the area. I was thinking about heading to Bologna to check out some of the sites up there.

It looks pretty nice. Plus they have my favorite pastas spaghetti bolognese and my favorite lunchmeat bologna.

..and oh yeah, they have some old ruins that are located just outside of town that I'd like to visit. There is camping nearby too.

Skateboarding with the Italians, good food, and museums. I can't wait!

Ruins

I loved the picture of the ancient Roman skate board park! Can't you just see Ceaser in his Triumph after crossing the Rubicon zooming back and forth on his skate board! I heard that they pave these things with ceramic tile from Anatolia! With your recent experience, you could do this!

Flew into Rome and caught the train to Bolgona.  The skate park was located just outside town.  It was closed due to snow but I jumped the fence.
