L is for: Large Monuments and the Lavanderia!
Italians have a knack for “Go big or go home”. I have the same philosophy for travel. Let’s set out on another day of exploring as we toodle about the city of Rome…. I was up super early as I… Continue reading

K is for: Killin’ More Time In Rome
The Vatican was all I’d ever hoped for and so much more. It’s definitely on my “I’d-Go-Back-Again” List; my own personal opinion is that it’s done best in small chunks- say 2-3 hours at a time. More than that, and… Continue reading

Moving from room to room and listening to the stories of the artists who contributed to the works held in Vatican’s Halls was truly a feast for the eyes. Every inch was covered in some form of art including carved… Continue reading

E is for: Escape to Earth-Swallowed Treasures
The Presepi Sellers were up bright and early clattering away in the alley; early morning coffee was no doubt hastily sipped as their wares were carefully arranged on makeshift tables. By 7:30 we were up and out as well to… Continue reading

D is for: Divine Spaces with a Disappointing Dinner
We didn’t really have a walking tour to follow for this day and took off with no particular goal in sight. By this time in the trip, I still did not have a functional SIM card to use for Google… Continue reading
