This weekend, many of us will gather with family and friends for barbecues and picnics to celebrate Independence Day. But, at some point between the hot dogs, hamburgers, and the firecrackers, I hope each of us will take time to reflect on what Independence Day is really about – remembering the sacrifices of our American [...]

1. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain
2. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
Finally, we’ve reached the final day of our Italian adventure – and Sunday in Rome is a wonderful way to do this.
This morning we said good-bye [...]

Rome is magnificent and brutal, painfully historical and modern, wonderfully peacefully and maddeningly bustling, captivating and repulsing … at all at the same time.
To us, it’s not nearly as serene as Venice, nor as romantic as Florence, but it is more so than both a showcase of Western civilization.
If you’re careless you can be run [...]

Yesterday, Thursday, May 20, we trained to Rome and then checked into the Roman Residence (where we stayed earlier in the trip). Massimo, the owner, warmly welcomed us back and had our very large and comfortable room ready for us, including the wedding clothes he had kept for us.
After sprucing up a bit, we took [...]

Our final day in Florence started out cool and crisp before a drizzle interrupted, but did not stop, our few remaining explorations.
After a breakfast of cappuccino, croissants, and fruit, we were off the explore, starting with the Duomo Museum. Many of the statues and artifacts of the cathedral, have been replaced with replicas, while the [...]

Ah … a great night’s sleep. GREAT night’s sleep. Did I say, we slept great? Anyway, our new room was cool and quiet and comfortable. In fact, we slept in a bit longer than we had planned … after all, what’s a vacation for!
Last night, after posting my blog to you, we both had a [...]

Buono journo, friends and vicarious travelers.  And, we hope your sleep last night was better than ours!
We didn’t rest so well last night for three reasons:

our legs ached (ibuprofen and a hot soak in the tub helped,
the hotel air conditioner is not on (it was cold last week and being in a controlled architectural zone, [...]

We were awakened today, Sunday, May 16th, for our third bell cantata by the church bells in Vernazza. Packing and saying goodbye to our hosts, Andrea and Franca Maria, we walked up the street to our last breakfast with Jeff at the Blue Martin Bar.
There are two things I need to say here. The ‘bars’ [...]

After I posted the blog last night, I was shutting down the computer, when who should come walking up to me but our three new friends from Oklahoma. Janet and her newly-graudated-from-OSU daughter, Sarah, and Janet’s sister, Elizabeth, were back in Vernazza from a day of exploring Monterossa.
Barb was saving a table at the restaurant [...]

Last night (Thursday, May 13), here in Vernazza, in the Cinque Terre of Italy, after writing you, we went to dinner at a place recommended by our new best friend, Rick Steves.
In his guidebook he recommended a small restaurant on the main (and only) street of Vernazza, called Trattoria da Sandro. Because of the storms [...]

This morning, Thursday, May 13, we left Venice early (745 am), via water taxi to the train station and caught the bullet train to Milan. After a brief layover, we caught a second train to La Spezia and then a local train to the tiny harborside village of Vernazza, a quaint and charming little hamlet [...]

We had not set an alarm clock, but were delighted to be awakened today, Wednesday, May 12, by the sound of an accordion and an man with an operatic voice, singing to a couple taking a romantic ride in a gondola in the canal just outside our hotel window.

After a delicious buffet breakfast at the [...]
