Bologna 2013

After a long hiatus, blogging this journey feels back on again.  We'll now use this 'Sketches of Europa' blog to document our everyday living and work on the Music.  For an idea of how we arrived at this point check out the 'Spitting Out The Shit' blog which covers the first chapter of the journey - from October 2010 until March 2011.

2012 was a year full of struggle and intense challenges but we made it through somehow.  Our movement throughout Europe slowed down a lot as we always felt it would but not in the way we expected!  We spent the first couple of months of the year in Berlin, then onto Budapest, which became the place we could never get out of, intending only to stay for a couple of months or so but remaining there for 5 months.  In the middle of summer we finally made it to Rome and moved north through Italy for the remainder of the year - Spello, Perugia and then arriving in Bologna in October 2012.  Italy has been good to us.

We have spent the last 3-4 months in Bologna practising and developing the Music and doing little else.  Its soon coming time to leave yet no next destination has revealed itself so far so who knows where we will end up after this!
