Changing plans - and making progress

Never let it be said I'm not flexible. After considering the train options, I've decided to fly to Italy instead. It means missing Paris and Milan this time, but I've seen both those cities several times before, so at least this way gives me longer to explore Bologna.

And now I'm learning Italian online. In just a week, I've reached 15% fluency. I doubt I'll be able to hold a conversation, but I'll understand menus and at least be polite.

With two more weeks until my trip, hopefully I can increase that level of fluency.

Buona gionarta!
