Day 169: June 18, 2015
Diary entry:
We are currently in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy for this year’s Blogville project. We’ll be staying in Bologna, Rimini, and Reggio Emilia over the next two weeks, sampling the local foods, beers, and wines of Emilia Romagna. Follow along with the hashtags #Blogville, #inEmiliaRomagna, and #ViaEmilia.
Quiet day, sitting the apartment, catching up on a lot of work while waiting for our housemates to return from their trip hiking in the Apennines. Truly enjoyable evening watching the crowd, and listening to the movies playing in the Piazza Maggiore in preparation for the upcoming movie festival.

It’s ok. A bit over-carbonated. Some banana-wheaty flavor comes out as it sits.
