Italy All Over…
Wow it seems like years have passed since my last post. We have been traveling day and night and are now in Verona in northern Italy. (no sign of Juliet hanging out on a local balcony)
Since my last post from Hong Kong we have traveled back to Japan and on to Italy. We overnighted in Rome (so my son could catch up on some school friends who were also on a group visit there) which is always a tough and exciting city. It still excudes raw power and is rough, tough, and exciting. It feels more than a little strange to imagine all the historial figures that have walked the streets before you.
From Rome we traveled north to Florence to bury our brain cells in some of the best Renaisance art that never fails to astound the sences, then traveled on through the little villages and hillside fortresses this region is so famous for. Spent a very rainy day in Venice exploring contemporary art galleries then headed for the Dolomites for 4 days of the best snow skiing I have ever experienced.
We are now heading for Milan and Paris before crossing the pond to New York.
Yes, I’m sick of packing and unpacking bags, driving and staying in hotel rooms so small you have to step outside to change your mind.
This years travels have brought the additional challange of a maturing 15 year old, whos insatiable need for huge quantities of food and personal space have added a whole new dimension to the travel experience.
Sorry there are no photos to post but the facilities to upload are just a tad too difficult but when I finally get a decent access point I have GIGABITES of stuff.
Untill next time CHEERS! from a fast becoming weary traveler.
