We now have our own stroller and decided to do the hop on hop off tour...yes we should have done this the day our stroller was lost. We walked to the Placa Catalunya to buy our tickets and board the bus. As we were at the ticket counter I pointed the very black rain clouds up above. We shrugged it off the proceeded to the top of the double decker convertible bus. We got off at the 1st stop, the Barri Gotic or Gothic Church. As we stepped off the bus the rain began to come down on us...sprinkling at first. [View Full Entry]

Oh, San Marino. Since Michael had worked a week less than I had and was spending his last two weeks doing a microstate tour, we had to go to San Marino while we were in Italy. He had already been to Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and of course Vatican City. Not surprisingly, there’s really not a whole lot to do in San Marino. It’s a very tiny country with a population of only about 30,000. It is, though, up on a beautiful mountain and has three famous towers that you can hike to. Michael was very excited about these towers, but forgot [View Full Entry]

WOW. Two blogs in two months? I'm on a roll! Speaking of rolls, try a caprese salad on a roll. The roundness makes it hard to eat, but it's delicious!! And Abby enjoys watching me eat it because I have a systematic way of eating it. The system is not foolproof but it is under development. So on Wednesday I left for Rimini and San Marino. It was nice, but I didn't achieve my goal of the trip: baseball. Rimini reminded me of Wildwood and kind of made me sad that I haven't been there in a while. I didn't really [View Full Entry]

18 Sept 2008 After our not so enthralling visit to Bologna, where we just didn't seem to get the combination right, we were at odds as to what to do today. We didn't want to spend all day at the campground because Ky and I would soon get bored, and the day was not looking amazing, even though it was a little warmer. So shortly after lunch we drove out with the aim of going to Rimini, south of Ravenna, and perhaps stopping at the beach. We took the now familiar roads south past Ravenna, but once reaching the bypass to [View Full Entry]

MOSCOW MOSCOW... It’s hard to not hum the tune “Moscow Moscow......” when you’re here. One thing I do know, is that no one else is humming it. We arrived at Moscow station at 7.30 on Friday morning and were met by a rep from the travel company with whom we booked this section of our trip. The overnight train from St Petersburg was fun and hopefully a taste of something to come! We were booked into a four berth cabin, but were the only occupants. We were allocated a top bunk and a bottom bunk, but since we were alone we [View Full Entry]

Las Ramblas is a place where you can find everything, is a big avenue with a lot of things like: resataurants, flowersa nd [View Full Entry]

San Marino is a fascinating stopover in the centre of Italy. I took a train from Florence and then jumped on a connecting bus that gradually wound up to the summit of a hill where the tiny fortified republic lies. This tiny country swarms with tourists strolling the cobblestone streets that are packed with quality shopping, gorgeous cathedrals and stunning views of the surrounding Italian countryside from the citadel walls. San Marino is easy to get to and definitely worth a visit if you are in the region. To recap from the previous journal, I have been a busy adventurer since [View Full Entry]

today, i found out that i am water, full of salt, pouring from eyes, induced by emails, too far away, and so out of touch, that old loves die hard against hardened hearts, and pleas of moving on. today, i found out that i am water. that i am here for no one reason. that if you ask me, i can't tell you why i came. today, i found out that i am water, living in a city without a source, i still flow, against strong soils, sucking up the life around me, running fast, and without direction. today, i found [View Full Entry]
