About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Friday, July 30, 2010. Taking a Ferry to the Seaside. Today I am leaving for a weekend at the beach. This isn't the first time I've been at the seaside this year . And it's not even the first time this year I've been on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy (that is, the coast where Tuscany is, and where Rome is) . Thursday, July 29, 2010. Departure from Italy (it's true, it's terribly sad). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Website, the inhabitants already numbered a sad 85 in 1833. A friend told me that the residents all left to come to the USA. Or they realized that their village was incredibly inconvenient, since the road is basically vertical, and they all moved down the mountain. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Biological Clock (or not). The weekend was a fantastic mix of food, hiking, sunshine, and family time (I was...

Note the box covered in stamps . No joke! Sunday, August 22, 2010. Goodbye, for now. Tomorrow is the big day, my departure from Bologna. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Lessons Learned at the End.

Adventures in Baloney: Moving
http://emmagilmore.blogspot.com/2010/08/moving.html
About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Saturday, August 07, 2010. Yesterday this burgeoning love affair was further promoted by one of the stranger employees, a woman who resembles a forest elf and has the corresponding voice and slightly antisocial air about her. As we settled my payment for the package (about sixty euros), she peered up at me from under her gray bangs and said that she wanted to attach the full tariff in the form of postage stamps (! Impy an...

Adventures in Baloney: Too Short
http://emmagilmore.blogspot.com/2010/08/too-short.html
About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Monday, August 02, 2010. There was no sign of Napoleon . But I think that I can safely say that Elba is incredible, and not at all a bad place to be exiled to. If you add on some great eating, singing, and relaxation, a weekend is barely enough time to enjoy it all . I want to start all over again! I miss everything already! I miss all madly! Sono pillole di felicità: così piccole è più facile metterle in valigia.

About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Thursday, February 25, 2010. The Importance of Having Friends. Conversation overheard between two friends. Friend 1: "My coworker told me today that he sleeps with two guns under his bed.". Friend 2: "Whoa. Really? Friend 1: "Yeah. He's a really nice guy, though. I didn't really expect him to tell me this thing about sleeping with guns.". Friend 2: "Hmm. If he sleeps with guns maybe he's not so nice all the time.". Me (be...

Adventures in Baloney: Familial Ties
http://emmagilmore.blogspot.com/2010/08/familial-ties.html
About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Wednesday, August 04, 2010. The next few weeks are full of goodbye-dinner engagements before my departure for the States, and these evenings tend to be extremely heart-wrenching. The positive side, though, is the realization that the past four years here have allowed me to create friendships for which I am incredibly grateful. I think the best way to sum up my feelings about this family, and the other people I'm saying go...

Adventures in Baloney: September 2009
http://emmagilmore.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Friday, September 11, 2009. I will now repeat something that I've already written at least twice on this blog. I love Puglia. There are many positive things about this region of Italy, the heel of the boot, probably too many to count. But here are some. The food - see capers and tomatoes above - is fabulous. Plus, there are really good mussels. And figs, and watermelon. I want to go back, now! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

About what happened when Emma went to Bologna, and the experiences she had therein. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Girls, girls, girls. The cast of characters:. So that her two friends get a chance to speak. One highlight stemmed from their frequent descriptions of Omar, a 16 year old high schooler whom they met through mutual friends. Among his shining qualities: he's Moroccan, he plays the guitar, he plays soccer, he's very sweet when they all chat online. And after a few weeks of their giggly descri...I hav...
