Avete presente quel vecchio film con Renato Pozzetto, il "ragazzo di campagna", quando lui si presenta ad un appuntamento in centro col trattore? Ecco. Quello è l'effetto che fa passare dalla mia città negli Usa a New York. La cosa ... Read more >

Rome Redux

Wed, 7 Nov 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [1026]

The problem with budget air-fares is the lay-overs.  But they aren't all bad, either.  Munich to Buenos Aires - more on that in a later story - meant a 23-hour layover in Rome.  It hardly seems possible that I was saying "Guten Tag" on ... Read more >

Contrariamente ad ogni previsione..rieccomi qua! Dopo più di un mese finalmente torno ad aggiornare il blog. Questa volta voglio parlare di controlli di sicurezza negli areoporti. Quelli italiani, ovviamente, sono i più superficiali.... Read more >

Alright first off, sorry for the limited posts (that being my only post before I left), but I did warn that I might not be great at this whole blogging thing. Anyway, I can't believe that it's only been two weeks, it feels like so much more. After getting ... Read more >

     After a rather rough start in Italy and a hotel in the middle of nowhere with no one who spoke English, we ended up in Hotel Bramante just two blocks from St. Peter's Basilica. We spent the next day walking around the Castel ... Read more >

14Oct12 Perugia We snuck a quick look at a hall (sala dei notari) with fresco cover of Aesop's fables before being evicted by a team setting up for a tourism conference. Odd place for a conference considering the venue is normally free for public viewing.... Read more >

12Oct12 Cuneo Day trip to Monte Carlo. We decided to have a look at Monte Carlo and thought the train trip might be interesting. There was a heavy fog so there was no way we could walk in the mountains. The train trip showed that this was incorrect.... Read more >
