Next three days were in Bologna. Highlight was getting dinner with former student and friend Paul who is now living in Modena and working for the Ferrari Formula 1 racing team - how cool is that. I also realized over dinner that I've known Paul now for over 20 years - man, I'm getting old. Bologna's usually a few degrees cooler than Rome but overall the mercury kept rising so outside wasn't particularly comfortable.

Time for a trip report. Been in Bologna for a few days now but before that, we started in Rome. Now, I was correctly informed that Italy in August isn't the smartest move - it's hot - 97 degrees out as I'm writing this post. Not pleasant outside. Still, Rome was pretty awesome even if I did fade in the afternoons. Why Italy? It was Natan's choice. Having graduated right before Covid, Natan hasn't had a chance for a real vacation for years.

Devorah and I spent this week in Savannah Georgia. Our first time. For the past few years, we've taken a trip mid winter to someplace warmer. Not necessarily warm but warmer. Last year was Charleston SC, this year Savannah. The weather was perfect, at least for me. Mid 50s in the mornings so I could run in shorts and short sleeves in the morning and in the 70s by late afternoon.
