BLOG: Softball Trio in Italy with Beyond Sports Tours – UNC Greensboro

Day 2 – 

I woke up 21! It is a super cool experience to have my birthday here in Italy. 

To start off the day, we had some breakfast and then headed off to practice. It was extremely hot but fun to get after it with our new teammates. After practice, we cleaned up and then went on a bike tour through Bologna. 

We learned about the history and what makes the city so special. All of the buildings are made out of beautiful brick that dates back to nearly 3,000 years ago. After the bike tour, we had some gelato and then went back to the hotel for dinner. On the bus, our tour guide Antonio sang happy birthday to me in Italian. At dinner, the servers surprised me and brought out cake while everyone sang happy birthday to me. It was definitely something I’ll never forget!
