Discover the city of History

The next week was another week of work, followed by our trip home.   As you might imagine, traveling half way around the world a few days before Christmas was not an easy task. Before we left Rome, we found that the Denver Airport was closed, which meant that our flight from Frankfurt to Denve…

I am glad to report that Italy has lived up to its expectations so far. The people are incredibly friendly, it’s much harder to find a bad meal than a good one, and the language barrier is rarely an issue. The only down-side I have found to Florence is the narrow breadth of the art and architectu…

My experiences with my time in Italy. All together I spent one month in Italy.

What do you like doing most on a city break?  Do you like being inspired and moved by great art in the world’s most famous galleries such as the Louvre and London’s National Gallery?  Is it gazing at the great buildings and monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe or the Vittorio Emanuel…
