I should have paid more attention to the walk around from the AirBnB host because when I plotted the Coop that he showed me, I ended up plotting the wrong one. On top of that we did not follow the google path, so our trip, which was already longer than it should be, was even longer. That was not a problem, as we were megandering all along the way along the old town, it was just a bit of a let down to find the market was very limited. So when we got back to the house we dropped off our stuff and took a bus to a more authentic market, the Mercato delle Erbe. This market was just what we wanted, so much fresh produce that we stocked up and took the bus back home.
Have corner, will insert nook
Glorious doors everywhere
A honking big knocker
Love the exposed blocks of stone
A knocker, a anti-bite screen and a keyhole
Bologna is known for the porticos everywhere
A tall bouquet of flowers
The flute on the street
The porticoes are under the extended part of the building
Grand gates and lights
In the piazza
The church
The clock tower
Domini, donini
Man and dog
Neptune in Green
These collage kids are in an organization
They wear funny hats
They have banners, and chants that they all yell out
Here is the banner
We thought we would sit in these couches
No, they are made out of stone
A ceremonial cistern
this ceremonial cistern was designed in 1587, transported to the Fine Arts Academy in1886 and then here in 1934
A metal cover to keep the trash out of the planters. It did not keep the cigarette butts out
The buildings are big in these parts
Another nook for Jesus
Knockers are a thing here
In the old town it is essential
But if you don't have a fancy knocker at least have a good door knob
At the end of the portico, a fresco
Any given intersection will impress
These bricks are sticking out
Is this the cowardly lion from OZ?
The Mercato delle Erbe looks to be very large
Lots of veggies to choose from
We bought stuff from four different vendors
Brains or cabbage?
Da bomb!
We also bought some flowers for the house
Not this giant orchid...
Nor did we buy this funky beer. We stopped in the nearby market and got some salmon to cook for dinner
Beans!
This graffiti caught my eye!
