Sunny Italy

Okay this in no way compares with what my friend Dora is dealing with in Virginia but just to dispel all those images from Sleepless in Siena or whatever those gushy novels about the eternal Italian sunshine of romantic minds are called, here's a few photos of the countryside between Bologna and Parma. They were taken Saturday morning from the train.



And it was cold this morning in Parma - definitely sweater, gloves, scarf and hat weather - and I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned +5c is cold!
