I'm staying amidst the rocks of Meteora of James Bond's "For Your Eyes Only" fame. Spires and domes and amazing masses of conglomerate that are MANY meters high seem unnatural at the edge of this valley. Monasteries sit on top and are ... Read more >

I take the bus to Tripiti and walk down a narrow road that snakes through a neighborhood. This spits me onto a dirt road that eventually turns to polished cobbles and I wonder where it leads. I come upon a sign that humbly announces the site of ... Read more >

The first part of the day was a travel day. I caught a bus to Termini and took a train to the airport from there. I forgot to mention that Rome has a great bus system and is free. It was a really great way to get around. The flight was pretty bumpy ... Read more >
