"Bologna and the Beach" Giulianat's photos about Bologna, Italy

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Bologna, Italy by TravelPod blogger Giulianat titled "Bologna and the Beach" Giulianat's travel blog entry: "So I am settling in quite nicely in Rimini, that's not to say that I never have problems but I am relaxing into the Italian way of life. The main problem I am having at the moment is trying to get something called a "permmesso di soggiorno" in English a "residence permit" from a local police station. I was supposed to go and get this within 8 working days from the date I entered Italy. Evidently I have gone over that time but here's why: My cousins girlfriend has been helping me go to the police station and speak with the policemen so I can get the residence permit. The first time we went (this was after only 6 working days), the policeman told us to come back another day and in the meantime gave me his number on a piece of paper and said to call him to go out for a coffee. Needless to say I chucked that in the bin - he appeared to be obsessed with finding an Australian girlfriend (so if anyone's looking give me a hoy! - no not really he was a few screws loose I think). Anyway we came back on the day he said and another policeman said that it was the wrong day and to come back another day and that we had to queue up at another department building.

Miami Beach, FL - $7750000 House for Sale

It was built in the mid-20's when Miami Beach skyline was far less imposing. One might have seen the Atlantic Ocean in the distance from the second floor in those days. Today. You would be able to see the Ocean from the second floor when you build your home on the adjacent one acre lot. Now, this magnificent mansion sits directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from the most elegant and tallest hotels and condominiums that line Collins Avenue. This one acre of prime estate backs up onto the Intracoastal and provides a constantly changing panorama as the yachts and sailing ships pass by. One enters the property through a gated driveway and past the guest and staff quarters. After passing the quarters, the driveway ends in a circular drive that leads to the wrought iron and glass entrance. A bronze statue, serving as a fountain, is located behind a bank of colorful flowers in the middle of the circle. The fountains and statuary on the property complement the Mediterranean style architecture of both the guesthouse and the main building. The red barrel-tiled roof of both houses carries through the Italianate theme. Villa Crono was totally renovated and fully air conditioned in the mid-90's. Typical of these Mediterranean style mansions that were built in the days before air conditioning, the entrance leads directly into the Grand Salon ...
