Yes, here I am with another post about Doors. This time I’m sharing photos of some of my favorite Doors of Venice, Italy. (You can also check out my post on Doors of Paris and Doors of Athens.) It’s a sickness. An addiction, really. I take photos of doors as I travel, especially in Europe,… Read More 10 Inviting Doors of Venice, Italy
Eclipse 2017: Totality Planning Many months ago, Scott had come to me, put some info on Eclipse 2017 in front of me, and asked me to research the best place in the United States to see the whole phenomenon. So, I got to work. There were SO many details and questions to sort through. What… Read More Eclipse Totality Travel
I’m not sure what it is, but I take a lot of pictures of doors when I travel to any European city, and my time in Athens was no exception. Europeans seem to be so much more creative and beautiful in their creation of doors than we are. So, when I get home, I always… Read More 10 Beautiful Doors of Athens
Anafiotika brings a bit of the feel of the Greek island right into the heart of Plaka, Athens. We had hoped to made a side trip to the Greek islands during our trip. Originally our time in Athens was followed by a cruise through the island. I was so excited, because these islands are gorgeous,… Read More Anafiotika : A Bit of Greek Islands in Athens
I love travel books. Often, when browsing a bookstore, I find myself in front of the travel books and maps of foreign cities. The debate begins: I don’t need another travel book. I really don’t need another travel book on my shelf. Am I even ever going to go to Bucharest? …Well, I mean, look… Read More Athens: Plaka in Photos
It may be one of the most photographed structures in the world… but that doesn’t mean I can’t add a few of my own. I actually have no clue how many photographs I took of the Eiffel Tower while in Paris, let’s just say there are some who probably think too many. And they are… Read More Eiffel Tower in Photos
One of the things I didn’t expect in Athens, was the sheer number of stray cats. They are everywhere. They are quite brazen about slinking around under your table as you eat, hoping for some dropped goodies, and were quite expert at avoiding being touched. They have adapted to the environment quite well. I took… Read More Cats of Athens
When we first arrived in Padua, it was early and quiet. Things were pretty empty but peaceful, a few tourists like us meandering. The main town square, Pratto dello Valle, is a surprise. I didn’t do it justice at all with the photos I took. First, it is enormous. It is such a large space, nothing… Read More Padua, Italy Photography
I did one whole post of Windows of Assissi previously because I had so very many cool windows I had photographed in the town. But Assissi was not at all limited to the windows, so here’s a look at other sites. As you approach Assissi, it really is beautiful. A cluster of white buildings, dominated by… Read More Assissi in Photos
These are from a trip I actually took several years ago, but in preparing to return to Italy, I began browsing my old pictures. The last time I was in Italy I was with my Dad and Step-mom, which as an adult is very different than those kid vacations you remember growing up. We travel… Read More Windows of Assissi
