The Little Treasures you find.

Walking our feet off and you turn onto a street and wow!!! This is a courtyard of an office building. Amazing little discovery.

Let’s talk about Lunch.

This might be the best story of our vacation. It’s lunchtime in Rome with an endless amount of choices. OK so the pizza is not NY, but everything else is pretty terrific. Reid goes on Yelp and finds a really good restaurant for a nice lunch. Since this is our first day off the ship […]

Yep you know this fountain.

Trevi a must on the tourist list. You are probably wondering why I only got a partial pic of this incredible fountain? It was 100 deep in people, I might be off by a few, you get it. Crazy you can’t walk, cops allover I got some of this. Baroque in style, largest one in […]

Mr. Fancy Pants.

Looking up at the Spanish Steps. This is a light crowd. And Reid on the famous shopping street Via dei Condotti. All the designers are here and their shops are pretty empty.

May 17th Last Stop Rome.

After 28 days on the cruise ship we are off. Our last part of this adventure is a long weekend in Rome. We are busy with 2 more tours, but our hotel room is not ready so out we go to explore Rome. It’s been over 20 years since we were last here, so lots […]

Leaving with the sun going down.

I don’t make this stuff up. Really a statue in a public square. The cherub boys aren’t shooting water from their penis. Kind of disappointed about this.

Amalfi the Town.

As soon as you get off the tender where all the ferries come into the town of Amalfi unfolds. Streets filled with shops, restaurants line both sides and stop as the cliffs and apartment buildings meet. The Duomo is big in the middle of another plaza. This is town designed for tourists including Italians looking […]

Something about empty alleyways.

I have become fascinated walking by little gems like this. I like the old architecture and flowers against cobble stone walkways.

Ceramic Art

There are many galleries to look at. But you have to search for the real good ones. We bought a serious piece from contemporary artist in first pic. Gallery in Ravello made me crazy, wanted everything.

Not a bad vista.

Eileen and I left the guys in town and walked up to where the finer hotels are in Ravello. Stunning view all the way up here.
