Day 17- Bologna

Field trip day. I was so not impressed with Bologna. This city was more of a business city there was lots of building, they did have good architecture. I saw so many 99 cent stores. We only have one in Lucca, that has a few good things. I got some tupperware and a strainer for pasta.

We did go to the Pinacotteca Nazionale Bologna. Which had some really great large painting that took up most of the height of the wall. There where a few that you had to stand on the other side of the room to take it all in. After we started walking to the next museum, on the way I saw this stack of washing machines. It turns out that there was some music festival and they had turned the washing machines into stereos and where playing the music we heard from them. It was really cool. Next we go to Museo Morandi, which had a huge collection of his work. He had paintings, ecthings and drawings of the same setup from different angles. We breaked for lunch.

So we walked all around the city of Bologna, I once again sweated so much and drank so much water. Our wonderful leader, Mike took us the wrong way. Somehow walking the extra blocks and the heat made me miserable. We finally make it to the MAMBO Bologna). I really enjoyed seeing some modern art (Museo d'Arte Moderna disince all we've been seeing so much historical stuff. I was so tired by the end of the day, I only had a few hours of sleep. I was knocked out on the first train. The second train was delayed, but we eventually made it back.
