My dogs are barking! I didn’t have a business dinner tonight so I went for a walk…for about 5 hours. OK, I admit that I took a short break for some wine & pizza…and gelato…
Mascarpone gelato on the bottom of my dish and the nutella gelato on the top of my dish. Heaven.
I walked so far that I eventually walked right out of Bologna. I was so busy taking pictures of doorknobs (yes, really!) that I wandered too far. Completely lost and there wasn’t a taxi to be had. Finally stopped in another gelato shop (tempted to get another one, but didn’t – where did that willpower come from?) and asked for directions. That’s when I found out that I had walked right out of Bologna. Oops. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to get back into Bologna and about a half hour beyond that to get to the Piazza and find a taxi stand. My feet! Ouchie!
Along the way I found a grocery store and bought coffee, nutella, biscotti and a silly present for the Fiance.
Ouchie. My feet!
Ok, yeah, yeah, yeah gorgeous old buildings…but can we talk about these wellies!??!?!
The shop was closed but I took tons of pics from the windows, everything in this store was simply awesome. It was like Anthropologie on steroids.
Feel free to hate me – I bought a train ticket to Milan today. Holy carp. Milan!

I can not say this enough I am GEL ASSED! I love Europe and have been several times but never, not once did I get to go to Italy. It was always Germany and France. Not that those are bad places to go, it’s just I still want to go to Italy…and Spain…and Greece….and….

At your prompting, I’m hating you. Still hating you. Still hating you. Looking at the photos and REALLY hating you.
Wait — nope. Still hating you.
OK. I like you again now!

I am also hating you. Why must you torture your friends and readers so?
That said, I will take one of each kind of gelato, a pair of those boots, and please keep posting pics.
