콩과 치즈의 만남

이탈리에 와서는 한번도 박스에 들어있는 음식을 먹어본적이 없다...비록 7일 밖에 안됬지만 기운이 넘친다..가는 곳마다 시장을 들려서 철과일과 야채를 사는 재미에 푹빠졌다. 안되는 이탈리언어 보다는 집념이 보여서인지 상인들이 굉장히친절하다. 맛보고 "molto bene" 아주 좋다..."quanto" 얼마냐..."un poco" 조금만...제일많이 쓴다. 오늘 은 피렌체 새벽시장에 부지런 ... Read more >

Rome to Pompeii back to Rome and on to Florence...

This plan of starting in the middle (Rome) going down and going back north in the same day really seemed perfect in theory...I just forgot that I would be the one doing it in practice. Woke up at 4:30am from nerves not wanting to be late to validate ... Read more >

sightseeing (huw)

Thu, 6 May 2010 | By huw-and-rose | Views [663]

Kerouac once wrote, “Why travel if not like a child?” I used to value that, to hold it forward in my mind as I moved around the world. Now, too often, I travel like a child sat bored in the back of a car in a traffic jam with nothing but a completed ... Read more >
