Italy: Wine Festival in Chianti

We decided last night that we would go out to another one of the hill towns today, but we hadn’t decided for sure which one.  So as we got ready this morning, we debated between San Gimignano and Chianti, both…

Italy:  Lazy Afternoon in Siena

Italy: Lazy Afternoon in Siena

Today we woke up slowly.  Probably a function of exhaustion from walking all day yesterday, coupled with the copious amounts of delicious Italian beer and pasta we ingested last night. As I’ve said before, we’re not “art people” and we…

Italy:  David, Galileo, Michelangelo and Joshua Tree

Italy: David, Galileo, Michelangelo and Joshua Tree

We’d planned to get up early this morning and be at the Accademia when it opened to avoid the crazy-long lines.  Buuuuut that was a lot to expect of me before 8am, so things didn’t exactly go down the way…

Italy:  Whirlwind through Venice

Italy: Whirlwind through Venice

This morning we woke fairly late again.  I could really get used to this leisurely waking with no alarm.  I wake feeling so rested, despite how late we stay out and how much wine we consume before bed.  We got…

Italy: Benvenuti in Italia

This morning started bright and early; no time for snuggling in our comfy, fluffy bed today.  We were up and at ’em and headed to Schiphol by 8am.  Check-in was a breeze – we barely had our passports looked over,…

Amsterdam:  Dutch Food, a Museum and a Windmill

Amsterdam: Dutch Food, a Museum and a Windmill

This morning we woke up very slowly again.  I think my eyes first opened at 10:00 when I heard the clock on the church across the street chiming.  I laid in bed picturing the people below rushing to get to…

Amsterdam: Paintings, Parks and Porn, Oh My!
