  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Masterpiece

    I chose these pictures for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Masterpiece as I love scenery and consider it both man’s masterpieces of creation complimenting the natural beauty of many vistas.  The first is photo taken in Ravello, Italy.  It shows the creativity of man, building homes and agriculture in nearly impossible locations. This next photo wass…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

    The Weekly Photo Challenge this week is Up.  The Amalfi Coast in Italy offers many looks that could be seen as an up.  The very fact that they built cities into the cliff side is amazing, Related articles Weekly Photo Challenge: Up (erinolearyphotography.com) Weekly photo challenge: Up (jmsimpson.wordpress.com) Weekly Photo Challenge: Up (platypiphotography.wordpress.com) Weekly Photo…

  • Venice Italy Through My Favourite Travel Blog’s Eyes

    Dean and Laynni say hi from Venice.  A new post from my favourite travel blogger.  Check it out. http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/dinojay2/29/1349037154/tpod.html  

  • Wandering to Ravello, Italy

    Ravello, Italy, what a truly wonderful, long-lasting memory.  To get there from Sorrento (where we were staying) took two ferries and a bus up a mountain through some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen.  The trip there and back is worthy of 2 more posts, including the drive back to Sorrento from…

  • Pass The Olive Oil

    This is disturbing.  We remember thinking, while in Italy, that the olive oil tasted way better there.  We chalked it up to fresher olives, locally pressed etc.  Not so.  If you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, read the linked article and watch the attached video.  Major scam here.  The article rats out the good and…

  • Wandering Wednesday – Rome – Day 4

    It has been a while since I last posted about our time in Rome.  Suffice it to say that I am still very much in awe of this place.  On this day, we were with our English relatives and decided to spend the day at the Colosseum and the Forum.  These were (are?) extremely impressive…

  • Rome, Italy – September 14, 2010

    The morning of the 14th, and we are expecting company.  Lori’s cousins from England are due to arrive at some point.  We decided it was good day to take our time, have breakfast, do some shopping and generally stay close until they arrived.  Being right on Via Del Tritone has its advantages.  Via Veneto was…

  • My Reasons to Travel….As Often As Possible – Number 3 – The Food

    Let’s face facts, we all love to eat.  As Canadians, we are very lucky in the variety and styles of cooking that one can sample without leaving the country. Having said that, I find it far more exciting to actually eat an Italian dish when in Italy.  Seems more logical to eat a Caprese salad…

  • Rome, Italy – September 13, 2010

    Our second day in Rome.  We woke up, oddly refreshed.  I put the coffee on and checked out the window.  Pretty nice looking day.  Grabbed my phone and checked the time.  Two o’clock PM.  That would explain the oddly refreshed part.  Stupid jet lag nailed us.  Nailed us good.  Oh well, we shall make the…

  • Rome, Italy – September 12, 2010 – Getting There

    Let’s face it, travel to Europe from Calgary, Alberta, Canada can be a gruelling exercise.  In the past we have only flown into London, an 8.5 hour flight.  We have left in the afternoon from home, landing in London in the morning their time, but pushing midnight Calgary time.  Late enough to start being tired,…
