Bogus Bologna

This past Friday, I went on a field trip with my Women and the Arts of Italy class to Bologna. It was very...interesting.  Helen (our teacher) had our 12 hour schedule packed with non-stop trips to museums and churches.  The only problem was that due to some sort of protest, basically all the museums in Bologna were closed (insert dramatic emoticon face here).  If you are reading this and happen to know Helen, you know that she was maaaaaadddddd, and if you happen to be reading this and don't know Helen, let me tell you that she was MMMAAAADDD.   

Fortunately, we ended up getting into 2 very interesting museums. One had a mixture of things which included a carriage, little figurines, paintings with dogs, a little doll house and much more. The other had wax figures of various birth defects?  As for the rest of the 10 hours we had, we saw churches, churches, and more churches!! Anywho, something interesting that I thought you would all like to know is that we saw the actual body of St. Catherine of Bologna.  She died in the early 1400’s and has been sitting in that same exact position ever since.  Crazy!

Oh and adding on to the series of unfortunate events, our train had the nerve to be delayed by an hour.  SO BOGUS BOLOGNA! 

Tis all.
