It was a really fun day shopping for food and then heading out of the city to a villa for a cooking class. I don't think we'll ever forget Luca and his sense of humor. I'm ready to try my hand atRead more
Venice

It's great fun eating dinner and then trying to find your way back to the hotel after dark. Great adventure, though. It was a day of more than 22,000 steps. Who's counting, though? So many bridges!

Also, we caught a glimpse Iddu volcano onRead more

Civitavecchia, Italy
May 8, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
We are in Citivecchia, Italy. We opted out of touring Rome today and decided to check out this this sweet port city, and we're glad we did. It's more fun because they don't speak a lot of English! WeRead more

Monoco: home of high rollers and fast cars!

Visited Les Baux-de-Provence as part of the Footsteps of Vincent van Gogh tour. We didn't actually spend any time in Marseille. We went about an hour away and had a wonderful time.

Barcelona, Spain 2
May 14, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
We'd like to think we brought the rain to drought-striken Spain. We still had a full day exporting. The Gaudi Museum is unreal. How does so much creativity come from one person? To think he diedRead more

Hills, hills, hills!
Porto is just wonderful, but be prepared to build up your glutes ... the hills and incline is real!
Coimbra, Portugal
May 19, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
This town has the oldest university in Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe. However, this does not warrant a two-night stay. Unless, of course, you need to firm up your glutes and walk anRead more
