Well the end of one portion of my traveling has come to a close. Today I said goodbye to the entire Weinstein clan. We had a nice time together in the Greek Isles. Crete seems like a great place but unfortunately, partly due to weather and planning, I just did not get to see a lot of it. It was nice walking through the main city of Heraklion with the family though. Today I flew from Crete to Athens with Debra, then I said goodbye to my travel partner/sister and flew on Jat Airline (the Yugoslavian airway) to Belgrade. The [View Full Entry]

Well after an interesting few days, the Weinstein family has finally made it out of Santorini. Not that it was a bad place. On the contrary, we had a wonderful time. The geography was absolutely breathtaking. We had a great time just going to the beaches and taking it easy. We also enjoyed some of the Archaeological sites such as Ancient Thira. The day we were going to leave Santorini though, the winds became very strong. They ended up canceling our ferry out of town. So we said, oh well....another day on a beautiful Island. We promptly got to work, [View Full Entry]

Happy July 4th everyone. It certainly does not feel like a holiday here. That's ok. Things are going great in Italy. We have gone to some amazing museums such as the Bargello, the Uffizi, the Medici Chapel and the Pitti Palace. We have seen art from all the ninja turtles (Michelangelo, Donatello, Rachael and Leonardo). We have also seen the Duomo and the Boboli gardens. It is a very beautiful place. So much good art. We have also eaten very well. Some great gelato. We have made it our mission to try the best places. Well we leave today...after seeing [View Full Entry]

After quite some excitement, Debra and I have made it to Florence. We had a nice last day in Rome. We went to the Borgese Museum. It had some amazing sculptures by Bernini. Some real famous ones. After that, we walked in the park a bit and made it to the train station for our train to La Spezia.. on our way to Cinque tera..so we though. When we finally got to Cinque Tera we found there was not a single place to stay in all the 5 towns. The area was completely booked (which was contrary to what our [View Full Entry]

More Greetings from Rome. Things are going well here. Debra and I are just trying to figure out our plans. I have a bit more time to talk. I arrived in Pisa from Sardinia a few days ago and picked up my car. It was a little scary because I have never driven manual before. One of the Professors at Field camp took me in the parking lot twice. Anyways, I got pretty lost in the streets of Pisa. The driving here is crazy. Its like New York, with much smaller streets. The leaning tower was very incredible. I am [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Sienna...Tuscany. I made it from Sardinia and have now started my own travel. Hopefully I can be a bit more proactive with the blogs now, including pictures. Anyways, first things first, I have officially finished the last class I ever need to take as a geology undergraduate!!!!!!!!!!! It is about time. Very exciting. The class in Sardinia was difficult but I learned a lot. Sardinia is a beautiful place. I wish I had more time to sight-see but I was taking a 6 credit class after all. The day after the class, I had a day in Algero [View Full Entry]
