Located near Rimini, MiniItaly was the second stop on my “just an average Italian vacation” vacation. This was day 2 of me being the only English person sight!

When D and I realized our one year anniversary was coming up, we began brainstorming where to go to celebrate.

Today bloggers are United Together in Acts of Kindness. In a busy, fast paced world, it is necessary to slow down and try to act like a decent human being, not just because Christmas is coming, but because it is the right thing to do. I don’t generally like to broadcast my acts of charity [...]

All I can say about white night is:
Crowds,
Crowds,
Throngs,
Chaos,
and even more Crowds:

Rome has a series of interesting signs. Some point to nowhere and everywhere, and many thousands point to an obscure place called the Auditorium. But have you ever really looked at the signs for the BioParco? What is that striped animal? I know it is supposed to be a zebra but it’s more like a [...]

Still up to no good nothing these days, but I am getting plenty of sightseeing done in my own city. If you remember my plea for where to go on vacation, I have roughly decided on Cinque Terre, Siena, Florence, Venice (Verona and Treviso) and possibly Amalfi. I have been to all of them except [...]
