Day 4: Bologna

Today we left Venice and went on our way to Florence. On the way, we stopped in Bologna. The city was much less populated with tourists. As soon as we arrived, it began raining for the first time. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing because the city is covered in 34 kilometers of arcades, better known as archways. We spent about 2 hours in the city and got to experience a different type of italian culture. Many of the guys got to experience Bologna tortellini. The city is also full of many universities at which mechanical engineering is a popular area of study. The first university of the country was in Bologna around the year of 1088. We actually walked past the California College of Berkley's italian campus. Some of the more expensive cars of the world are also made in Bologna. Ferrari and Lamborghini are both produced near the city. Later today we will arive in Florence where we will spend the next 3 nights.
