I will never eat like this again

Buona sera.  So I know it's been a while but i've been pretty busy/lacking motivation to update the blog.  So I had a great weekend- I went to visit Ariel's friend Eli in Bologna and stayed with him until Sunday.  On friday we got there and walked around all of bologna.  We also climbed up one of the famous towers that had a really incredible view of Bologna.  That was cool.  That night we went out for an amazing meal- we got crescite (which is a bolognese delicacy- puffed bread mixed with fresh cheese and meats) and tortellini ragu.  Then we ventured off to this bar with live music and ended up at one of their token clubs called soda pops.  The next morning we woke up really early and went to Parma.  I really liked Parma, it's small but a very picturesque city, but a lot more modern than I expected.  We ended up going into a palace type thing there and the guy let us in for free.  The palace ended up having an incredible gallery and i saw my first leonardo de vinci painting up close!  Next we went to a salumeria that Eli had been to before and it was probably the best meal of my life.  Everything was freshly made there and the pasta was unbelievable.  I literally could not walk after the meal i ate so much.  After that we took the train back and stopped in Modena which wasn't really much but was cool to see.  Anyways since then i haven't done anything too exciting.  It's been raining a lot here, but i'm staying in Florence this weekend so I'll be able to do a lot more.  Ok that's all. Ciao
