So Megan had been in Europe for a few months and wanted nothing more on her birthday than some “good” American food.  So, we took the easy way out and headed to the Hard Rock Café, to be followed by a bus tour of Rome at night.  There we met an American who would alter our night…

After Pompeii, we took the speed train from Naples back up to Rome and spent one last evening in our city, this time shopping and eating.  As a wedding present to myself, I bought a Furla bag, which, I must say, was a very good deal.  If you're looking for a quality leather handbag, Furla…

We would get up extra early to make it to Roma Termini for the 735 departure to Pisa... However that train would not leave until 835. bummer. After a 3 hour ride we would be in PISA!!!

Helen was already on the terrace for breakfast when we arrived and Earl was still in the sack so, again, the three of us ate together. Earl joined us just before 10:00 and we set out via some small steps that descend in front of our rooms for Piazza di Spagna where we grabbed a taxi to the Palatine…

We took the metro back to the Colosseum and when we reached the surface we were greeted by those souvenir sellers - this time selling umbrellas.  What do we need umbrellas for?  Its not raining - SPLAT - oh, I guess it is raining.  The one dark cloud in the sky was dropping big fat r…

Piazza Navona is a beautiful square in the heart of Rome and most famously know for the ornate fountain (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi - The Fountain of the Four Rivers) located in the square's center and sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.  There are two additional fountains at the both the norther…

I was for the first time in Rom. I went here by train -  the whole night from Milano/Milan just for the one-day-visit in the eternal city. Then - after having made such beautiful and great experiences i rode the other entire night to Milano back - to my friends where i left my big luggage, goi…

I almost want to cry seeing these pictures from the wedding photographer! These obviously don't capture the more private moments, like talks on the beach, and raucous bachelor parties, and fending off incorrigible cuban salsa instructors, and sweltering days smoking cigarettes in order to repel mos…

Rome, Florence, Fiesole (Tuscany).

One of the most amazing trips of my life was in year 2000, in Italy. The occasion was the Jubilee year celebrated by the Catholic church - maybe you remember the news on TV  talking about 1 million young people gathering from all around the world to Rome. I traveled with 58 other people f…
