Love Carter http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Trieste/blog-327814.html On Friday September 3rd the fifth day of the Venice Study Group Program we all traveled two hours north of Venice to Aquilea with group director Rebecca Ammerman. There in Aquilea we visited a famous Christian Basilica that dated to late Roman times. After lunch we ran through an archaeological museum and hopped on a bus to the nearby resort town of Grado.

Jackie and I went to Italy from Jan 31 through February 4th. It was absolutely incredible I don't even know where to begin... but here goesWe left London around 830am on Thursday and took a 50 minute train to Stansted Airport. We flew RyanAir and it only took about an hour to arrive at the Treviso Airp http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Trieste/blog-243178.html Era da troppo che non facevo un viaggio in famiglia. Noi in realt non viaggiamo spesso anche se a tutti i componenti piacerebbe farlo di pi. Cos per queste vacanze siamo andati a Udine che uno non se lo aspetta visto che non esattamente una meta turistica ma un posto davvero gradevole tutto sommato colorato tranquillo e vivibile. con dei centri commerciali notevolissimi. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Udine/blog-241778.html Viaggio in macchina dalla Puglia al Friuli. Non ricordo con esattezza ma credo siano state dieci ore di viaggio pi una manciata di pit stop nelle stazioni di servizio.Non ci crederete ma si sopravvive e anche decentemente a dieci ore di viaggio sempre che non si soffra di maldauto.

The Easter Bunny quietly hopped its way around the house into the kitchen lounge and fire place hiding Easter Eggs for everyone. It even placed one right in front of Carlo without him even noticing He thought It was just an lsquoinquisitive catrsquo... or in this case http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Torreano/blog-203121.html We started the day in style with breakfast outside on the patio in the fresh air listening to the birds sing. First location for the day was Cividale the closest town to Carlorsquos house in Torreano. Cividale is what Irsquod describe as a typical Italian town perhaps mainly for the architecture but also the narrow walkways between the tall very old buildings with their shutters and flower http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Grado/blog-202762.html Hi EverybodyAfter leaving Bled we visited the Triglav National Park in N.W. Slovenia. The drive into the mountains had 50 hairpin curves that overlooked a beautiful gorge. The road was built during WWI by 10000 Russian POW's. We decided to stay in a sobe in the small village of Ciginj that night. The couple who owned it also operated a paragliding adventure business. Speaking of sobes al http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Aviano/blog-196560.html My cousin and her friends picked us up at 10am to go to the letto di fiume which literally is the river bed. The day before she said that she would bring panini and we would have sandwiches by the water. Just a plain old picnic on a nice day right Patrick and I offered to bring something but she said that it was covered so we packed our books towels and 1 bottle of water.

The Tour de France starts in London this weekend and Jon is very excited to see it all. The Rijecka airport is actually on the island of Krk. We drove from Trieste through Slovenia and then back to Croatia. There was a bridge to get to Krk Island. We checked out the little town of Krk. Krk was a http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Trieste/blog-180851.html July 5 2006 Yesterday we slept in at the Jolly hotel in Trieste. We had breakfast and it was another beautiful sunny day. Jon loves the cappuccino in Italy. We shopped all day. Trieste is not really a tourist destination but it is in Italy so they still have shopping all round the main Utica Square. Jon found some Etro shorts and some cool tan leather Italian shoes. I found 2 Galliano dresses an http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Trieste/blog-178825.html We made it to Trieste and decided just to stay near the main square at the Jolly Hotel. We had stayed in a Jolly in Milan and it was nice. So after a little driving we checked in. We had the lady at the front desk call the restaurant that our friend Fabio and Jessica Flagellio had recommended to make a reservation. Our friend Fabio went to cooking school with the chef Fabio Fortuna that cooks at http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Trieste/blog-178811.html On Sunday morning we picked up a rental car in Vienna and started our road trip. Our first stop was just over the border in Gemona del Friuli Italy where my friend Monica from Monterey lives. The drive took about four and a half hours and included some incredible scenery as well as more than a few tunnels as we drove through the Alps. Gemona is a small city near the Austrian and Slovenian bo http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Italy/Friuli-Venezia-Giulia/Gemona-del-Friuli/blog-170800.html Ok.
