As Danielle had never seen Pompeii and me never Ercolano,before going to our accomodation in Furore on the Amalfitan Coast,we did a short visit of the crowded Pompeii,in particular the Villa of Mysteries, the Villa of the Faun and............the brothel. After a year long of restauration,the bro…

Started off a 3 week Europe trip in Lake Como- even though the stupid airline had lost my stuff for the first few days, it was hard to not enjoy myself when I was in Bellagio!

-Still under construction- I need to put in order my head to remember details and interesting things to write about..I hope to do it soon.. Meanwhile some pictures to share..

Bonjourno!  Got to Florence yesterday evening and am having an amazing time.  The only thing I have resembling a complaint is the smell.  Dogs do their business everywhere...streets, sidewalks...and there is no grass...so that makes it a little worse!  An evening stroll was in o…

After spending 4 hours in Heathrow Airport, and being disconnected from the rest of our family, we finally arrived in Rome. We took the train from the airport to our apartment. This was my first time in a Non English-Speaking country (I'd previously been to the UK in 2000). My first memories of Rom…

After a spontaneous idea of a friend at work we got over the weekend to Rome.

... visita inesperada a la ciudad de noche. A callejear en busca de la Plaza de España y la Fontana di Trevi para después ir a la zona de marcha a tomar unas copas y finalmente, de vuelta al aeropuerto, ver el Coliseo, la Piazza San Marcos con el Vaticano, la Piazza Venezia, el Castillo Sant…

Today was okay...a bit of an adventure for my mom I think. We started off a little later in the morning.  It was nice to sleep in a little bit.  After breakfast, we walked to the Vatican.  It took a little over an hour...not too bad.  The line up to the Vatican was about anothe…

Our evening ended with a lovely GONDOLA ride and a bottle of champange. There were 6 girls in the gondola but only 3 of us drinking. Bring on the bubbly! It's a very peaceful ride (I think my mom was bored) and I imagine that it would be romanic for a couple. The gondolas left in sets of 3 for…

My last post covered one of my favorite ride/runs that my buddy and I found in Tuscany.   A lot of the time our trips out of town did incorporate both running and riding and I’ll definitely share more of those routes later.  Today I want to share some of the rides that constituted …

I am no longer being crabby and have started talking to people once again.  Which is great because I met these two Filipino girls last night eating dinner at the table next to mine.  And they were from LA and we were walking around the piazza afterwards and saw all these groups of Filipin…

  (cont'd...) It must be the smallest elevator I've seen, only three of us were able to fit in going up to his apartment. There we exchanged pleasantries with his family and I was told that it's his birthday that day. After lunch, we continued our conversation&nb…

This was really a wonderful show, an incredible view of the fireworks and the Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian training ship.
