We start our journey east from Colorado. It is a cool 36 degrees with a misty fog as we begin our drive in the early morning. When we stop for a quick breakfast burrito at the McDonald’s in Burlington, Colorado, I hear someone say that they got 14 inches of snow in the mountains last […]

Long Journey Home
St. George, Utah, United States, Tuesday, October 16, 2012 An early start to a long day. We get up at 0515 and catch the metro right before 0600. Good timing our metro wait is only 1 minute. At Termini station, we walk to the main train station and board the Leonardo Express train that goes […]
Last Day In Italy
Rome, Lazio, Italy, Monday, October 15, 2012 Today is the last day of our journey other than the trip home. We knew this day was coming and can honestly say that our emotions are all over the place. We have enjoyed every single place we visited and are still very much enjoying the experience of […]
Ancient Roads And Bones
Rome, Lazio, Italy, Sunday, October 14, 2012 Our breakfast this morning is pretty basic. Some croissants, toast, and cereal. This is supposed to be the nicest day of the three we are here in Rome so we are going to walk along part of the Appian Way. We are told it may rain later so […]
Raindrops, So Many Raindrops
Rome, Lazio, Italy, Saturday, October 13, 2012 We can’t believe that we are about to visit our last city. And it is one that we have been to before. Carol threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain almost two years ago and it worked, because we are returning to Rome today. In order to make […]
A Nice Easy Day
Sorrento, Campania, Italy, Friday, October 12, 2012 After three busy days, we have planned to just relax and hang around Sorrento. Today was supposed to be a rainy day and when we get up, it has not disappointed. We have had three wonderful days exploring the surrounding area, so weather timing is good. A leisurely […]
A Visit To Naples
Naples, Campania, Italy, Thursday, October 11, 2012 I thought I would put a quick disclaimer here. I mention in this entry, a secret room in a museum that had ancient X-rated stuff. I included a few photos as I found them a little humorous, but also thought they showed how much we humans have not […]
Pompei Day
Pompei, Campania, Italy, Wednesday, October 10, 2012 We are going to Pompei today. Another fairly quick breakfast followed by a walk to the train station to catch the 0852 train. The ride is about 35 minutes and even this early, we get the accordion players on the train. When we arrive at the station it […]
Isle Of Capri
Anacapri, Campania, Italy, Tuesday, October 9, 2012 We get up and the weather looks decent so we decide to go to Capri as planned. Breakfast is included and consists of croissants, an apple turnover type pastry, Cappucino, and juice. We eat fairly quickly and head out hoping to make the 0845 boat. We buy our […]
Boat Trip to Sorrento
Sorrento, Campania, Italy, Monday, October 8, 2012 Today we leave Amalfi for Sorrento. We have decided to take a boat to Sorrento rather than the bus. It’s a little more money but we like the different perspective we will get and is probably a smoother ride! There is only one boat in the morning and […]
