La Doche Vita

So as you might of heard due to a French strike my plane from Italy to Morocco was canceled yesterday (still trying to wrap my head around that). So this has given me several more days in which to enjoy la doche vita here in Italy. So I decided I would, like when I finished backpacking, give you the run down on some of the best (and some of the worsts) of a year abroad in Bologna Italy.

Bologna
