We arrived in Bologna, Italy after an hour delay on the train. The Italians say this is normal and no worries. We were lucky enough to have a “pop up” 2 day food market near our hotel and HAD to try an octopus sandwich! Yes, you read that right- octopus sandwich. Larry naturally made friends with the expert chef cooking the octopus- here’s the video. And YES, it was absolutely delicious! Making memories in Bologna, Italy! Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️

This is Chioggia,Italy also known as little Venice. Only 16 miles from Venice this town of 50,000 boasts the oldest clock in the world, 3 canals that go through the historic district, and one of the world’s largest fleet of fishing boats. Although it was hot, we bicycled to the local beach, swam in the Adriatic Sea and got to enjoy the Thursday market, a weekly morning market that filled the streets with vendors selling meat, vegetables, shopping of all kinds, and met tons of locals who meet together to enjoy the local morning weekly market. But the best part of Chioggia was at night when all the lights from the restaurants sparkled off the water. Stunning. Next stop- a train to Bologna, the “bread basket” of Italy! Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️

Hello, friends. We made it to Italy. After a car ride to the airport, 3 different planes, (wow is that Amsterdam airport big!) a bus ride to one of the smaller planes (what fun!) a tram ride from Bologna airport to Bologna Centrale, and a 2 hour train ride to Chioggia, known as little Venice, we made it! So far we’ve been up for 28 hours and still hoping to make it til 8:00 pm tonight! What a beautiful place to decompress and relax. Here are a few pics of this beautiful little place Larry found to visit!!oh, and did I tell you it was in the 90s here today? Fun times.
Here’s to more wonderful Italian adventures. Blessings from Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️

Does anyone know someone that can haul rocks for us to put on our driveway - would need a dump truck. Thanks so much, Mrs Lynn & Farmer Larry. ❤️
